Function ID Configuration

The Function ID Configuration window displays information that defines PCI functions in the selected input/output (I/O) configuration. A function ID (FID) indicates a native PCI function identifier. This is a hexadecimal integer of model-dependent length where the value must be unique in the IOCDS. The PCHID is a hexadecimal integer that indicates the physical channel path (for example, the physical adapter associated with the PCI Function ID). Depending on the adapter type, one or more PCI functions may be specified with the same PCHID. If the adapter supports sharing, one or more Function IDs are defined on a PCHID up to an adapter-specific limit. A virtual function (VF) identifier must be defined for each Function ID on a shared adapter. The value of this is a decimal integer with a value of 1 up to an adapter-specific limit and this value must be unique for a given PCHID and PORT. If a PCI Function is unshared, there can only be one PCI Function defined for a PCHID and no virtual function can be specified. The Access Partition Name is the logical partition that has access to the FID following the initial power-on reset of the IOCDS.

Selecting View>Function ID Configuration displays the Function ID Configuration window.

You can work with the Function ID Configuration table by using the table icons or Select Action from the table tool bar.

Image Candidate List

Displays a list of logical partitions that have authority to access the Function ID.

If you place your cursor over an icon, the icon description appears. The icons perform the following functions:

Show Filter Row

Displays a row under the title row of the table. Select Filter found under a column title to define a filter for that column. This limits the entries in the table. Tables can be filtered to show only those entries most important to you. Click OK when you have defined your filter. The filtered view can be toggled on and off by selecting the check box next to the desired filter in the filter row. If you no longer want the Filter row to appear, click Hide Filter Row.

Clear All Filters

Returns the table back to the complete listing.

Edit Sort

Performs multi-column sorts of objects in the table in ascending or descending order. Click Edit Sort to define sorts for columns in a table. Alternatively, single column sorting can be performed by selecting the ^ in the column header to change from ascending to descending order.

Clear All Sorts

Returns the table back to the default order.

Configure Columns

Allows you to select which columns you want displayed. Arrange the columns in the table in a desired order or hide columns from view. All available columns are listed in the Columns list box by their column name. You select the columns you want displayed or hidden by checking or unchecking the list box and using the arrow buttons to the right of the list to change the order of the selected column.
