Subparameters for REQUEST=PDELPATH

REQUEST=PDELPATH
Asks for the CDELPATH function of PPRC to be executed.
,DEVN=devn
A required input parameter field containing the binary device number to use for I/O.

To code: Specify the RS-type address, or address in register (2)-(12), of a 2-byte field.

,PSERIAL=pserialno
An optional input parameter field containing the EBCDIC serial number of the primary storage subsystem. This parameter field contains 12 characters. The serial number must be right justified in the field, and padded on the left with character zeros as needed. This parameter is required if the PWWNN parameter is not specified. If this parameter field is set to binary zero, the PSERIAL parameter is treated as omitted.

If the PSERIAL parameter is specified, the SSERIAL parameter must be specified. If the PSERIAL and SSERIAL parameters are specified, the PWWNN and SWWNN parameters cannot be specified.

To code: Specify the RS-type address, or address in register (2)-(12), of a 12-character field.

,PWWNN=pwwnn
An optional input parameter field containing the WWNN of the primary storage subsystem. This parameter field is 8 bytes in length. This parameter is required if the PSERIAL parameter is not specified. If this parameter field is set to binary zero, the PWWNN parameter is treated as omitted.

If the PWWNN parameter is specified, the SWWNN parameter must be specified. If the PWWNN and SWWNN parameters are specified, the PSERIAL and SSERIAL parameters cannot be specified.

To code: Specify the RS-type address, or address in register (2)-(12), of a 12-character field.

,PSSID=pssid
A required input parameter field containing the binary subsystem ID of the primary storage subsystem. When removing a path between open device logical subsystems, this value should be specified as X'FFFF'.

To code: Specify the RS-type address, or address in register (2)-(12), of a 2-byte field.

,SSERIAL=sserialno
An optional parameter field containing the EBCDIC serial number of the recovery storage control. This parameter field contains 12 characters. The serial number must be right justified in the field, and padded on the left with character zeros as needed. This parameter is required if the SWWNN parameter is not specified. If this parameter field is set to binary zero, the SSERIAL parameter is treated as omitted.

If the SSERIAL parameter is specified, the PSERIAL parameter must be specified. If the PSERIAL and SSERIAL parameters are specified, PWWNN and SWWNN parameters cannot be specified.

To code: Specify the RS-type address, or address in register (2)-(12), of a 12-character field.

,SWWNN=swwnn
An optional input parameter field containing the WWNN of the recovery storage control. This parameter field is 8 bytes in length. This parameter is required if the SSERIAL parameter is not specified. If this parameter field is set to binary zero, the SWWNN parameter is treated as omitted.

If the SWWNN parameter is specified, the PWWNN parameter must be specified. If the PWWNN and SWWNN parameters are specified, the PSERIAL and SSERIAL parameters cannot be specified.

To code: Specify the RS-type address, or address in register (2)-(12), of a 12-character field.

,SSSID=sssid
A required input parameter field containing the binary subsystem ID of the secondary storage control. When removing a path between open device logical subsystems, this value should be specified as X'FFFF'.

To code: Specify the RS-type address, or address in register (2)-(12), of a 2-byte field.

,RETINFO=retinfo
A required output parameter field that is used to return detailed information about the results of executing the request. Information about the results of scheduling the request are returned in the RETCODE and RSNCODE fields. Align the area on a word boundary. The first 4-bytes contain the return code and the second 4-bytes contain the reason code. The remainder of the information is dependent on the return and reason codes. See the coding example SDM API usability guide about how to coordinate the RETCODE, RSNCODE, and RETINFO fields.

To code: Specify the RS-type address, or address in register (2)-(12), of a 100-character field.

,PLSS=plss
,PLSS=NO_PLSS
An optional input parameter field containing the binary logical subsystem number within the primary storage subsystem. This keyword is required for storage subsystems with logical subsystems and is invalid for 3990 and other 3990–compatible storage controls.

NO_PLSS Specifying this value is the same as omitting the PLSS keyword.

The default is NO_PLSS.

To code: Specify the RS-type address, or address in register (2)-(12), of an optional 1-byte field.

,SLSS=slss
,SLSS=NO_SLSS
An optional input parameter field containing the binary logical subsystem number within the secondary storage subsystem. This keyword is required for storage subsystems with logical subsystems and is invalid for 3990 and other 3990–compatible storage controls.

NO_SLSS Specifying this value is the same as omitting the SLSS keyword.

The default is NO_SLSS.

To code: Specify the RS-type address, or address in register (2)-(12), of an optional 1-byte field.

,ECB=ecb | NO_ECB
An optional input parameter field that SDM will post for an asynchronous request. This field is ignored for synchronous requests. The default is NO_ECB.

To code: Specify the RS-type address, or address in register (2)-(12), of a fullword field.

,WAITTIME=waittime
,WAITTIME=0
An optional input field containing how long in seconds SDM waits for a request to complete. A value of zero indicates that the system does not time the request. If the time expires before the request is complete, a value of 7160 (RQST_PDELPATH_ERROR, with a message ANTP0217E indicating I/O timeout) is returned. If the request is a synchronous request the value is placed in the return code part of RETINFO. If the request is an asynchronous request the value is used as the ECB post code. If waittime is less than five seconds, then SDM changes waittime to five seconds. If waittime is greater than 255 seconds, SDM changes waittime to 255 seconds.
,SUBCHSET=subchset
,SUBCHSET=0
Specifies the subchannel set in which the command is to be issued. The subchannel set where the I/O will be issued is the subchannel set as defined in the Hardware Configuration Dialog (HCD). The valid values are determined by what is currently supported by the host system's processor and configured for the device.

If you specify a value of X'00' or omit this keyword, the command is issued to the device that is currently logically in subchannel set 0. If a swap has occurred, this could be the device that was defined in an alternate subchannel set in the I/O configuration (IODF), with HCD.

To code: Specify the RS-type name, or address in register (2)-(12), of an optional 1-byte (character) field.
