1809   Location of SGCB in LD structures

Created: 09 Feb 2022

Page: 76 of INF

Clause: 8.2.5

Paragraph: last

Issue

An SGCB, if it exists, is located in LLN0. §8.2.5: "If setting group control blocks are present, they shall appear only once in any branch of the logical device management hierarchy."

This statement does not explicitely explain the constraints occuring with more than one parallel SGCB in an hierarchical LD structure.

Proposal

Propose to extend the statement to state that the location of the SGCB in the LD hierarchy defines a border line; no SGCB can exist on a higher level. Parallel SGCB can exist.

Editorial:

Extend the sentence §8.2.5: "If setting group control blocks are present, they shall appear only once in any branch of the logical device management hierarchy."

With
"i.e. further SGCB in other branches can exist within a LDevice hierarchy. The scope of a given SGCB is always the LDevice that hosts the LN0.SGCB including logical device management hierarchy (sub-logical device(s))." 		11 Oct 22 Editorial
The term "parallel SGCB" is not explained in the standards. We used it during the discussion in the WG 10 meeting and I quoted the resolution in this Tissue.

It is worth being more explicit. The new part of the sentence could be modified to
"i.e. further SGCB in other branches can exist ..." . 		01 Mar 22 Approval (Editoral)
Is the term "parallel SGCB" explained somewhere or is it assumed to be self-explaining? 01 Mar 22 Approval (Editoral)
Extend the sentence §8.2.5: "If setting group control blocks are present, they shall appear only once in any branch of the logical device management hierarchy."

With
"i.e. parallel SGCBs can exist within a LDevice hierarchy. The scope of a given SGCB is always the LDevice that hosts the LN0.SGCB including logical device management hierarchy (sub-logical device(s))." 		26 Feb 22 Approval (Editoral)
The tissue has been triggered and discussed during the WG10 Meeting in Lyon 02/2022 - TF-UF

Propose to treat it as editorial, as the current defition does not change, and is currenlty tested in the server type conformance test with test case: sCnf48. No change in testing required.

Proposed change:
Extend the sentence §8.2.5: "If setting group control blocks are present, they shall appear only once in any branch of the logical device management hierarchy."

With
"i.e. parallel SGCBs can exist within a LDevice hierarchy. The scope of a given SGCB is always the LDevice that hosts the LN0.SGCB including logical device management hierarchy (sub-logical device(s))." 		14 Feb 22 Triage
