MPTS adapter numbers and slot positions: You can specify adapter slot/device identifier in MPTS configuration. Relation of physical slot numbers and slot/device identifiers is given in MP3000 installation manual (SY24-6154-02), page 5-3 and in redbook Multiprise 3000 Basic Emulated I/O Definitions (SG24-5669-00), page 38: Slot slot identifier LG09 0064 LG10 0065 LG11 0066 LG12 0067 LG17/18 000B
If slot is not specified in MPTS and you have multiple ethernet or multiple tokenring adapters, then ethernet adapters are assigned from bottom to top, tokenring adapters are assigned from top to bottom. The same device driver "IBM 10/100 Ethernet PCI adapter" can be used for both built-in ethernet adapter and additional ethernet adapters. (You should use current device driver; old version may not recognize built-in adapter). Each occurrence of ethenet driver in config.sys assigns the next ethernet adapter and displays (at boot time) slot identifiers of all ethernet cards recognized and what slot is assigned. This order of adapters is described in MP3000 Service guide (SY24-6155-02), page 2-10 and MP3000 Installation manual (SY24-6154-02), pages 6-35, 6-40. If ethernet adapter is to be used by mainframe TCPIP, then specify 'D' as 'type of Ethernet driver support' in 'properties of IBM IEEE 802.2' Device map Run awscfg, put cursor on device definition or driver name LCS3172, press F1, read help (D:\P390\LCS3172.DOC) The help file contains example of TCPIP definition and explanation of adapter numbering. Device numbers are not related to network adapters. You should use only one device pair (even,odd) to access all network adapters. You need more than one device pair, if devices are used by multiple instances of TCPIP, e.g. more LPARs. The same adapter cannot be used by multiple instances of TCPIP at the same time. PROFILE.TCPIP Adapter number specified in PROFILE.TCPIP is equal to sequential number (beginning with 0) of those network adapters in MPTS, that have protocol IEEE 802.2 specified. Example: 2 LPARs, we need 3 Ethernet adapters. Use adapter on SBC (single board computer - slot LG17/18) for TCPIP OS/2 and 2 additional adapters for 2 LPARs - in slots LG11, LG12.
