Hardware name
In this field you can specify a hardware filter, that is, the name
(identifier) of a central processor complex (CPC) as defined to the hardware
configuration definition (HCD) for your system. Use a hardware filter
to restrict the configuration information of this system profile to specific
hardware.
- If you are using filters in LOADxx or IEASYMxx to define different IPL
modes, you must specify a filter to match one of the modes. You can
later add further system profiles to your system, one for each IPL mode you
want to customize your services for.
- If you are not using filters in LOADxx or IEASYMxx, you can but need not
specify a filter. If you specify a new filter, the filter is created in
LOADxx and IEASYMxx. All customization for the system profile then
applies only IPL mode that corresponds to the filter. See also Using filters.
Rules: The hardware filter must adhere to the following
rules:
- It must be known to HCD
- It is 1 through 8 characters
- It can contain alphabetic, numeric, and the following national
characters: @ $ #
- The first character must be alphabetic or national
Lowercase letters a-z are converted to uppercase letters A-Z.
Example: CPC02
