Defining LU Pools

For 3270, TN3270, and LUA, you can define LU pools to simplify user configuration and provide greater flexibility in establishing host sessions.

The LU Pools window lists the LU pools configured in the system, and enables you to select LUs to add to an LU pool. The individual LUs in an LU pool are listed below the LU pool.

An LU is identified as follows:

• 3270 display LU
• Unrestricted LU
• SCS Printer
• 3270 Printer

Do not mix LUs of different types in the same pool (for example, do not put display and printer LUs into the same pool). It is unlikely that you will need a pool of printer LUs unless you are supporting TN3270E clients.

To configure an LU pool, use one of the following methods:

Motif administration program

Select LU Pools from the Windows menu on the Node window, then choose New to add a pool.

Command-line administration program

Issue the following command:
define_lu_pool

LU Pool Configuration Parameters

The following parameters are required for LU pool configuration:

Name

A name to identify the LU pool. This field applies only when you are adding a new LU pool. You cannot change the name of an existing pool.

Assigned LUs

LUs to be assigned to the pool. An LU can only be a member of one pool.
