If you are using the ISTDINFO command list, you should be aware of the following dependencies and restrictions:

• You can only IPL the configuration using an HCD I/O Definition (IODF). You cannot use MVS/CP to define your configuration. The LOADxx parmlib member, which contains the IPL parameters, must have an IODF statement coded, not an MVS/CP statement.
• You can define only the following devices:
  • Local SNA clusters
  • Communication controllers
• The devices must be defined to MVS™ using the IBM-supplied unit information modules.
• Complete device information is returned only when the hardware is self-describing.
