Coupling Facility Control Code Commands; Coupling Facility Level (Cflevel) Considerations; Cpc Support For Coupling Facility Code Levels - IBM Z9 Planning Manual

Coupling facility LPs only support the following tasks typically available to the
hardware console operator:
v Activate
v Deactivate
v Operating System Messages

Coupling Facility Control Code Commands

Coupling facility control code does provide a limited set of hardware operator
controls unique to the coupling facility LP. These controls are available from the
Operating System Messages panel. From this panel, you can enter the HELP
command to display coupling facility control code command syntax.
Coupling facility control code provides the following commands for use in the
coupling facility LP:
v CONFIGURE (configure coupling facility channel paths online or offline)
v CP (configure a central processor online or offline)
v DISPLAY (display coupling facility resource information)
v DYNDISP (turn dynamic coupling facility dispatching on or off for a coupling
v HELP (display coupling facility control code command syntax)
v MODE (define coupling facility volatility mode)
v SHUTDOWN (shutdown coupling facility operation)
v TIMEZONE (sets timezone offset from Greenwich Mean Time for a coupling
v TRACE (sets or modifies tracing options)
Notes:
1. Support for the CP and HELP coupling facility control code commands is
2. The settings established using DYNDISP, MODE and TIMEZONE commands

Coupling Facility Level (CFLEVEL) Considerations

To support migration from one coupling facility level to the next, you can run
different levels of the coupling facility concurrently as long as the coupling facility
LPs are running on different CPCs. CF LPs running on the same CPC share the
same coupling facility control code EC level.
When migrating CF levels, lock, list, and cache structure sizes might need to be
increased to support new function. The amount of space needed for the current
CFCC levels must be redetermined by visiting the CFSizer tool at
http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/cfsizer/.
