These commands would add a new terminal name (bills) to the Terminal Solicitor screen, and also enable a TN3270 connection from 9.12.17.211. Where do the addresses (703 and 704) come from? The cu statement in our example (“Typical resource definitions” on page 76) specified an addressing range with 16 addresses. The resource name in the cu statement matches the resource set name of the 3270 definitions, so these resources have addresses beginning with 700.
The same mount commands could be placed in a shell script used to start an emulated S/390. The shell statements would be:
$ echo ‘mount 703 bills’ flexescli localhost S10A
$ echo ‘mount 704 @9.12.17.211’ flexescli localhost S10A
Tape resources
The tape resources discussed here involve emulated S/390 tapes. If you could
You can define FakeTape devices, and these would be the normal case for a ThinkPad/EFS system. The definition might be:
R10A3480: cu 3480 interface local(1)
device(00) 3480 /tmp/tapes/222222 end R10A3480
The keyword 3480 specifies a standard
Several specialized parameters can be used with tape resource definitions. These would be written like this:
device(00) 3480 /tmp/tapes/222222 devopt ‘maxwritesize=200’
The options are placed (in single quotes) after a devopt keyword. The maxwritesize option is probably the most commonly used. It specifies, in megabytes, the maximum size of the emulated tape media. When the amount of data written approaches this size, an
When using FakeTape, the tape resource would normally be specified as OFFLINE and the operator would use a flexescli mount command to specify the UNIX file to be used. (The mount command also brings the device online.) See
LAN resources
LAN resources are used to define OS/390 TCP/IP connections to the S/390 or to define an SNA LAN connection to the S/390. A definition for OS/390 TCP/IP use might be:
R10A3088: cu 3172 interface local(1) device(00) 3172 eth0 device(01) 3172 OFFLINE
end R10A3088
