Displaying Available I/O Resources For Logical Partitions; Displaying System I/O Resources For Logical Partitions - IBM AS/400e Manual

Displaying serial and part number and logical address
You can use the F10 function key to toggle between the Serial Number and Part Number fields and the
Logical Address field. You can use the F1 function key on your workstation for more information about
these fields.

Displaying available I/O resources for logical partitions

An available input/output (I/O) resource is an I/O processor (IOP) or a system I/O bus that you can assign
to a logical partition. You cannot assign an I/O adapter or a single device (such as a tape drive) to a
partition without its IOP. When you assign an IOP to a partition, you assign all of its devices to a logical
partition.
| You can print the information in this display by pressing F6.
You can perform this procedure from system service tools (SST) or dedicated service tools (DST).
To display available I/O resources, follow these steps:
1. Start SST or DST.
2. From SST select option 5 (Work with system partitions); from DST select option 11 (Work with system
partitions) and press Enter.
3. Select option 1 (Display partition information).
4. Select option 4 (Display available I/O resources).
If you have restarted the primary partition, but not the secondary partitions, the diplay will not be up to day.
You will only see the last buses and IOPs which reported for the secondary partitions. You will not see
IOAs and devices until you start the secondary partitions.
Once you have arrived at the Display Available I/O Resources display, you can view the resources at
these levels of detail:
*ALL (everything on the system or allocated to a logical partition).
*BUS (display by system I/O bus).
*IOP (display by IOP and bus).
*IOA (display by I/O adapter (IOA), IOP, and bus).
*DEV (display by device, IOA, IOP, and bus).
Displaying serial and part number and logical address
You can use the F10 function key to toggle between the Serial Number and Part Number fields and the
Logical Address field. You can use the F1 function key on your workstation for more information about
these fields.

Displaying system I/O resources for logical partitions

You can display all resources (allocated and available) on the system. This display sorts the resources by
address and shows resource status. It also shows the details of its logical partition characteristics.
You can print the information in this display by pressing F6.
