The '''Input/Output Configuration Program''' is a program on [[IBM mainframe]]s.{{When|date=December 2021}}
==History==
In the original [[IBM System/360|S/360]] and [[IBM System/370|S/370]] architectures, each processor had its own set of I/O channels and addressed I/O devices with a 12-bit ''cuu'' address, containing a 4-bit channel number and an 8-bit unit (device) number to be sent on the channel bus in order to select the device; the operating system had to be configured to reflect the processor and ''cuu'' address for each device. The operating system had logic to queue pending I/O on each channel and to handle selection of alternate channels. Initiating an I/O to a channel on a different processor required causing a [[Shoulder tap (software)|shoulder tap]] interrupt on the other processor so that it could initiate the I/O.

The new I/O architecture used a 16-bit '''subchannel number''', a 16-bit '''device number''' and an 8-bit '''Channel Path Identifier''' ('''Channel Path Id''' or '''CHPID'''); the [[Channel Subsystem]] was responsible for mapping the '''subchannel number''' to the channel and device numbers, for queuing I/O requests and for selecting from the available paths.

The new I/O architecture used a 16-bit '''Channel Path Id''' ('''CHPID'''); the [[Channel Subsystem]] was responsible for mapping the '''CHPID''' to the channel and device numbers, for queuing I/O requests and for selecting from the available paths. The installation was responsible for defining the [[Input/Output Configuration Data Set]]s ('''IOCDS''''s), and the operator could select a specific '''IOCDS''' as part of a [[power on reset]] (POR). Input/Output Configuration Program (IOCP)<ref name=GC38-0097/><ref name=GC38-0401/><ref name=GC38-0456/> is a program for IBM mainframes that compiles a description of the [[Channel Subsystem]] and [[LPAR]]<ref name=GA22-7123/> configuration, optionally loading it into an [[Input/Output Configuration Data Set]] (IOCDS); it recognizes the syntax of [[MVS Configuration Program]] (MVSCP)<ref name=GC28-1615/> input, and there is no need to maintain separate input files.▼
Starting with [[IBM Z#IBM zSeries family|z990]], IBM introduced the concept of a '''Logical Channel Subsystem'''<ref>{{cite manual

Starting with [[System z9]] running [[z/OS]] 1.7, IBM offered the multiple-subchannel set facility, which allowed up to four independent sets of 64 Ki subchannels.<ref>{{cite manual
