Work with hardware resources (WRKHDWRSC)

The Work with Hardware Resources (WRKHDWRSC) command is used to display information on OptiConnect adapters. The adapters represent systems that are linked to this system through the shared bus or HSL environment. An adapter that is associated with this system is NOT shown.

To display the OptiConnect adapters, use the Work with Hardware Resources command. Enter the following:

WRKHDWRSC TYPE(*CSA)

WRKHDWRSC TYPE(*CSA) displays a resource for each remote system that had, at some point, an operational connection to the system on which you are entering the command.

The examples in the following sections demonstrate a four-system, dual-path configuration that shows SYSTEMA as the bus-owning system (Hub).

Communication between two systems uses a pair of adapters: a source adapter, and a target adapter. The source adapter is the adapter to which a system is connected with optical cables. The target adapters are any remaining adapters on the shared bus that are connected to other systems. The WRKHDWRSC command does not display the source adapters to which you are optically connected. It displays the target adapters for other system adapters on the shared bus. These, in turn, represent systems to which you can communicate.

Some resources may have a status that is "Not detected". This is caused by:

• A change in your configuration.
• A remote system that was not powered up when the OptiConnect system was started.

  If a remote system was not powered up when the OptiConnect system was started, then power on the system. The resource should become operational as soon as the IPL on that system completes. The connection will still be displayed even though the subsystem on the remote system is not operational.

Next, select option 7 to display resource details such as physical location and logical address. Fields are blank for cards that physically reside in a bus on another system. Serial numbers appear as zeros for these cards.
