As you probably know, each controller actually has two different names.  One
is the controller description that you see when you do a  WRKCTLD ctl02, and
the other is the resource name.  To change the description is just a matter
of varying the controller off and renaming it to whatever.  Then with
autoconfig on you should get the device names your looking for.  If you want
to change the resource name (which is not needed, but advisable for sanity
sake) go into SST and 'Hardware service manager', Locate resource name , and
put in option 2 to change the name. Then make sure the controller is looking
at that resource.

Hopefully, if I understood your question, this answers it.

Subject: Change Work Station Controller Name

Hi,

We're migrating from a 620 to a 520 next weekend, and I was just playing
with the setup of the twinax devices on the 520.

On both iSeries's, the QDEVNAMING SYSVAL is set to *DEVADR. So a display on
Workstation Controller 02, Port 03 with switch 05 gets assigned the name
DSP020305.

And, on the 620, the three work station controllers are CTL02, CTL03 and
CTL04. So the names of all our twinax displays are DSP02xxxx, DSP03xxxx or
DSP04xxxx.

On the 520, the work station controllers are called CTL05, CTL06 and
CTL07 (from WRKHDWRSC *LWS). Even though the Work Station Controller
Description I have assigned to each controller are CTL02, CTL03 and
CTL04 (from WRKCTLD *ALL) the names assigned to the twinax displays I plug
into them begin DSP05, DSP06 or DSP07. How do I change the names of the
workstation controllers from say CTL05 to CTL02, so that the same names are
used on the 520 as on the 620?

Cheers

Guy
