Hardware Configuration Definition (HCD) provides an
interactive interface that allows you to define the hardware configuration for
both a processor's channel subsystem and the operating system running on the
processor.
The configuration you define with HCD may consist of
multiple processors with multiple channel subsystems, each containing multiple
partitions. HCD stores the entire configuration data in a central repository,
the input/output definition file (IODF).
The IODF as single source for all hardware and software
definitions for a multi-processor system eliminates the need to maintain
several independent MVSCP or IOCP data sets. That means that you enter the
information only once using an interactive dialog. |
