The Logical Device Configuration specification captures the details about the resources used by the logical device. A Logical Device Configuration specification can include configuration items. Configuration items can have characteristics and can also consume a resource.
You can associate only the following specifications to the Logical Device Configuration specification:
Custom network address
Custom object
Device interface
When working with Logical Device Configuration specifications, see the following topics:
You can add existing configurations to a Logical Device specification. The Logical Device configuration and the Logical Device specification do not have to be in the same project.
To add an existing Logical Device Configuration to a Logical Device specification:
Open a Logical Device Specification entity in the Logical Device Specification editor.
See "Creating New Specifications" for more information.
Click the Logical Device Configurations tab.
Click Select.
The Add Entities dialog box appears.
Select the configuration and click OK.
The logical device configuration you selected appears in the Logical Device Configurations tab.
From the File menu, select Save.
You can add new configurations to a Logical Device specification. The logical device configuration and the Logical Device specification do not have to be in the same project.
To add new logical device configurations to a Logical Device specification:
Open a Logical Device Specification entity in the Logical Device Specification editor.
See "Creating New Specifications" for more information.
Click the Logical Device Configurations tab.
Click Add.
The Logical Device Configuration Specification Wizard appears.
In the Project field, select the name of the project to which the new specification should be added.
In the Name field, enter a name for the new specification.
This is the name that will appear in UIM.
(Optional) Select a location.
By default, Design Studio saves the entity to your default workspace location. You can enter a folder name in the Folder field or select a location different from the system-provided default. To select a different location:
Click the Folder field Browse button.
Navigate to the directory in which to save the entity.
Click OK.
Click Finish.
The logical device configuration you added appears in the Logical Device Configurations tab.
From the File menu, select Save.
Adding Existing Configurations to a Logical Device Specification
Use the Logical Device Configuration Specification editor to model Logical Device configurations.
When working with the Logical Device Configuration Specification editor, see the following topics:
Use the Logical Device Specs tab to select, add, and remove the Logical Device specifications that use the Logical Device Configuration specifications. This tab identifies the Logical Device specifications that use the selected Logical Device Configuration specification. You must use this tab to relate a Logical Device specification to its Logical Device Configuration specification only when the Logical Device specification and Logical Device Configuration specification need to be in separate cartridges and the Logical Device specification can exist without the Logical Device Configuration specification. If both the Logical Device specification and Logical Device Configuration specification are in the same cartridge, make the association on the Logical Device specification.
| Field | Use |
|---|---|
| Logical Device Configuration | Displays the name of the Logical Device specification. |
| Cartridge | Displays the name of the cartridge project into which the Logical Device specification is built. |
| Select | Click to select an existing Logical Device specification. |
| Open | Click to open the selected specification in the Logical Device Specification editor. |
| Remove | Click to remove a Logical Device specification. |
| Add | Click to add a new Logical Device specification. |
