CF

Use the CF command to establish a connection between the Integrated Coupling Facility (ICF) and the PR/SM partition in which it resides.

Note

You only need to use this command if the Integrated Coupling Facility is running in the PR/SM partition and using dedicated ICF processors. In this case, for correct modeling, it is necessary to establish a connection between the partition data and the CF data. Such a connection cannot be established from RMF data. You must provide the CF command in this case.

Syntax

CF <NAME> SYSPLEX=VALUE PART=VALUE SER=NNNN

Syntax explanations

  • CF <NAME> is the Coupling Facility name.
  • The SYSPLEX subparameter is the sysplex name where the Coupling Facility belongs.
  • The PART subparameter is the partition name in which the Coupling Facility runs.
  • The SER=NNNN subparameter represents the last four digits of the processor serial number for the physical machine on which the Coupling Facility runs.

Rules

  • You should not use the CF command for a stand-alone Coupling Facility. You should not use the CF command if the Coupling Facility is running stand-alone or if it is running in PR/SM partition sharing regular processors with other z/OS partitions.
  • The CF command has no defaults.

Examples

CF CF01 SYSPLEX=BMCPLEX PART=CF01 SER=3456

In this example, the Coupling Facility CF01 is in partition CF01 on Sysplex BMCPLEX, and the last four digits of processor serial number are 3456.
