Having read the posts on the subject of backing up the OSA-ICC settings, I decided to share my own ICC setup method.
Since I: 1) do not like to sit at the HMC and enter lots of definitions, 2) find the procedure somewhat complicated 3) never remember what settings I want 4) am a fan of automating processes I decided on a format that I found convenient for defining ICC sessions, and wrote a Regina macro for the THE editor which creates an importable ICC control file. A sample of the input config file is as follows: <OPTIONS> devaddr.5 = 16 /* Set first device in LPAR 5 to address B010 */ </OPTIONS> <OSC_SERVER> HOST_IP= 182.158.20.18 DEFAULT_GATEWAY= 182.158.10.150 SUBNET_MASK= 255.255.0.0 PORT= 4450 ETHERNET_FRAME= DIX MTU= 1492 NAME= ZVMSYS </OSC_SERVER> <CONFIG_SESSION> LU=PROD-OP0 MIF=1 LU=TEST-OP0 MIF=2 LU=MVSP-OP0 MIF=3 LU=MVST-OP0 MIF=4 LU=SYST-OP0 MIF=5 LU=ZVM5-OP0 MIF=6 LU=PROD-OP1 MIF=1 LU=TEST-OP1 MIF=2 LU=MVSP-OP1 MIF=3 LU=MVST-OP1 MIF=4 LU=SYST-OP1 MIF=5 LU=ZVM5-OP1 MIF=6 *LU=PROD-OP2 MIF=1 *LU=TEST-OP2 MIF=2 LU=MVSP-OP2 MIF=3 LU=MVST-OP2 MIF=4 LU=SYST-OP2 MIF=5 *LU=ZVM5-OP2 MIF=6 LU=X001ZVMP MIF=1 LU=X002ZVMP MIF=1 LU=X003ZVMP MIF=1 LU=X004ZVMP MIF=1 </CONFIG_SESSION> The OSCSERVER section is copied AS-IS to the HMC version. In the CONFIG_SESSION section, lines beginning with an asterisk are ignored, lines beginning "LU=" create a session definition, all other lines are copied AS-IS. Each line defines the LUname and MIF (lpar) number of a session, all other values are hard-coded in the macro. I open the config definition file in THE, enter the command: SET MACROPATH D:\macros\DOCS\ICC and then type the name of the macro: buildsessions The macro will create an output file with the same fn as the input, and extension .cfg I will send the macro itself in a second email. I hope someone finds this helpful, and am open to comments, Shimon -- ************************************************************************ Shimon Lebowitz mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] VM System Programmer .
