Hi
We would like to categorize the channels as in the Mainframe Concept
book
(http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/zos/basics/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.zos.znetwork/znetwork_74.htm)
CCW channel or Coupling channel or QDIO/OSA.
Can I make this from the channel type codes ?
In fact you just did it.
What do you want to achieve?
I'm asking, because there are different point of view:
CHPID type - as in HCD, i.e. CNC, FC, FCV, CTC, etc. A physical
channel can be defined as one of allowable types. For ESCON you have 4
choices.
Channel card type - i.e. FICON Express2, Express4, Express8 - all
those cards support same set of CHPID types.
Channel media - related to Channel card type.
CPC - machine model sometimes decides wht CHPID can be used, i.e. CFR
cannot be defined on z9, even if the same card do support CFR.
CCW channels:
Bus&Tag, ESCON, FICON (no-Express, Express, Express2,4,8)
CHPID: BL, BY, CTC, CNC, CVC, CBY, FC, FCP, FCP
CF link channels:
ISC(fiber optic 2-3 generations), ICB (copper, several incompatible
generations, ICB, ICB-3, ICB-4), PSIFB (Infiniband), IC (internal,
emulated).
CHPID: CFP, CFR, CFS, CBP, CBR, CBS, ICP, ICR, ICS, CIB
Network channels:
Variuos OSA cards, IQD - emulated.
CHPID: OSA, OSE, OSD, OSC, OSN, IQD (and OSM, OSX for z196)
Remark: I intentionally excluded channel types available in Multiprise
machines (EIO, DSD, ISD) and machines older than 9672 (IOC).

Hi
Thank you very much.
We want to say, from the RMF channel activity reports, that
the DISK was active x% and the NETWORK was active y% in the last
period, for a performance monitor tool from us.
(I feel it has not too many sense, but this tool exits on other
platforms ... )
From the RMF I got the acronyms and channel types.
