Question:

How to obtain a device ID (DEVID) listing using the CA OPS/MVS Switch Operations Facility Discovery Utility?

Answer:

The following batch OPIODIAG utility JCL can be run to retrieve a quick discovery listing of your ESCON/FICON switch environment.

//JOB_card
//OPIODIAG EXEC PGM=OPIODIAG
//STEPLIB DD DSN=SYS1.OPS.USSLOAD,DISP=SHR
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*

Upon execution it will produce an output listing similar to this depending on how large your configuration is:

Switch summary for system XXXX
   Switch 0001:
   Switch is online
   Switch is allocated
   CHPIDs: 69 8E 8F
   DEVID: 009032.005.IBM.02.000000041203.0000
Switch 0002:

   Switch is allocated
   CHPIDs: 21 22 40 43 48 49 4A 4C 4E 4F
