ESCON Menu
The ESCON feature of LINCS provides support for multiple control unit images (CUI) through
one or two ESCON interfaces. The ESCON menu includes a single utility to allow you to
reset individual CUs without affecting the other CUs. When two ESCON (ESC) cards are
installed on the platform, you must type ‘1,esc2’ at the prompt to access CUs on the second
card.

Reset Individual Control Unit
This utility simulates the receipt of a Control Unit System Reset by the CU selected, causing
device sessions associated with the CU to be reset back to their initial state. A communications
indicator is placed into the Event Log associated with the execution of this utility. The entry
will normally indicate ‘communications available’ (event 0500-01) if the ESCON path is
established, or a different communications event if there is a problem with the host
communications.
To make use of this utility, the cursor positions itself at the CU Index prompt allowing you to
select the CU Index number that you want to affect. Only configured CUs will toggle with
this field using the key. Once you have toggled the desired CU, press . The
word ‘Done’ will appear when the action has been completed. Note that resetting the CU
occurs very quickly and will normally be complete within a second or two.
