argument for the
portShow ficon
command can be used to monitor FICON emulation.
The following is an example.

portshow ficon ge1 0 -emul
XRC and Tape statistics are presented differently in output formats. The following elements are
common to both Tape Emulation and XRC Emulation outputs:
FDCB ptr
A pointer to the FICON Device Control Block. Support personnel may use this
pointer.
Path
The device path, in the format VE-HD-HP-DD-DP-LP-CU-DV. where:
•
VE is the internal VE_Port number.
•
HD is the hex value for the Host Domain (the entry domain for this host
port into the fabric).
•
HP is the hex value for the Host Port (the entry port of this host
connection into the fabric).
•
DD is the hex value for the Device Domain (the entry domain for this
device into the fabric).
•
DP is the hex value for the Device Port (the entry port for this device
connection into the fabric).
•
LP is the Logical Partition (LPAR) value for the host accessing the specific
device.
•
CU is the Control Unit number (CUADDR) for the specific FICON
connection.
•
DV is the Device Number of this FICON connected device.
