The System Input/Output Configuration Analyzer task runs the following functions: 

GLYPH<SM590000> Analyzes the current active IOCDS on the SE. 

GLYPH<SM590000> Extracts information about the defined channel, partitions, link addresses, and control units. 

GLYPH<SM590000> Requests the channels’ node ID information. The Fibre Channel connection (FICON) channels support remote node ID information, which is also collected. 

The System Input/Output Configuration Analyzer is a view-only tool. It does not offer any options other than viewing. By using the tool, data is formatted and displayed in five different views. The tool provides various sort options, and data can be exported to a UFD for later viewing. 

The following views are available: 

GLYPH<SM590000> PCHID Control Unit View shows PCHIDs, channel subsystems (CSS), CHPIDs, and their control units. 

GLYPH<SM590000> PCHID Partition View shows PCHIDS, CSS, CHPIDs, and the partitions in which they exist. 

GLYPH<SM590000> Control Unit View shows the control units, their PCHIDs, and their link addresses in each CSS. 

## 11.5.13 Automated operations 

GLYPH<SM590000> Link Load View shows the Link address and the PCHIDs that use it. 

GLYPH<SM590000> Node ID View shows the Node ID data under the PCHIDs. 

As an alternative to manual operations, an application can interact with the HMC and SE through an API. The interface allows a program to monitor and control the hardware components of the system in the same way a user performs these tasks. The HMC APIs provide monitoring and control functions through SNMP and the CIM. These APIs can get and set a managed object’s attributes, issue commands, receive asynchronous notifications, and generate SNMP traps. 

The HMC supports the CIM as an extra systems management API. The focus is on attribute query and operational management functions for IBM Z servers, such as CPCs, images, and activation profiles. z13 servers contain a number of enhancements to the CIM systems management API. The function is similar to the function that is provided by the SNMP API. 

For more information about APIs, see IBM Z Application Programming Interfaces , SB10-7164. 

## 11.5.14 Cryptographic support 

This section describes the cryptographic management and control functions that are available in the HMC and the SE. 

## Cryptographic hardware 

z14 servers include standard cryptographic hardware and optional cryptographic features for flexibility and growth capability. 

The HMC/SE interface provides the following capabilities: 

GLYPH<SM590000> Defining the cryptographic controls 

GLYPH<SM590000> Dynamically adding a Crypto feature to a partition for the first time
