zddsi enhancement request to include PCHID information.

zddsi enhancement request to include PCHID information .

Customer is asking for an enhancement request to ZDDSI to include the PCHID information that is associate with the CHIPID for the associated device. This information would be very useful in the display rather that having to go find the information in the IOCP deck when working with channel problems. It even becomes more complicated when you have multiple LPARs in the configuration.

This is an example of an IOCP statement when defining a channel for a given LPAR and the associated PCHID for that channel .
The EF in this case is the channel and 531 is the PCHID that belong to LPAR (TPFPG003).

CHPID PATH=(CSS(0),EF),PARTITION=((TPFPG003),(=)),SWITCH=77,
PCHID=531,TYPE=FC
