OSA Express (G)

One entry in this table exists per OSA-Express Device Interface in the OSA Express table. The (G) indicates that graphs are available. If the values for objects ibmMvsOsaExpCurLparName/Num are not the same as the values for objects ibmMvsOsaExpManLparName/Num then the OSA/SF running in the current LPAR is not the managing OSA/SF for this Device. The utilization object values are reset when the CHPID is reset. The processor utilization objects are the sum of the per LPAR processor utilization values in the corresponding osaexpPerfTable entries for the adapter.

The OSA Express Table has two subtables:

·         OSA Express SF/LPAR Names

·         PCI Bus/Processor Load

Figure 94. OSA Express Table 

The fields on the OSA Express Table are:

Channel

The channel number for this interface.

Type

For OSA-Express adapters supporting QDIO mode, the value is osd (17). For OSA-Express adapters supporting non-QDIO mode, the value will be ose (16).

 

SubType

The channel subtype indicates how the channel is configured. The values possible are:
1 : Unknown 2 : Gigabit EtherNet 3 : Fast Ethernet 4 : ATM Native 5 : ATM LAN Emulation 6 : No Ports Defined 7 : One Logical Ethernet Port 8 : One Logical Token Ring Port 9 : Two Logical Ethernet Ports 10 : Two Logical Token Ring Ports 11 : Logical Ethernet And Token Ring Ports 12 : Logical Token Ring And Ethernet Ports

Mode

The configured mode of the OSA-Express adapter. The values possible are:

1: Nothing Configured 2: Pass Thru Mode 3: SNA Mode 4: Pass Thru And SNA 5: ATM LE Pass Thru 6: ATM LE SNA 7: ATM LE Passthru And SNA 8: ATM Native 9: QDIO

State

Hardware channel state: online, not installed, or offline.

Shared

An OSA-Express Channel can be shared across multiple LPARs. This object indicates if this channel is currently being shared.

Num Ports

Number of physical ports on the OSA-Express Channel.

CU Number

The control unit number associated with the OSA-Express Channel.

Code Level

This is the firmware (or micro code level) of the OSA adapter. For example, OSA adapter level 05.60 would be represented as 0560 by this object.

 

OSA EXPRESS SF/LPAR NAMES subtable

 

Channel

The channel number for this interface.

Current LPAR Name

LPAR name of the OSA/SF from which this data was retrieved.

Current LPAR Number

LPAR number of the OSA/SF from which this data was retrieved.

Managing LPAR Name

LPAR name of the OSA Support Facility managing this channel. Only one OSA/SF can manage a OSA-Express Channel within an MVS Sysplex even though multiple OSA/SFs can retrieve information from the same OSA-Express Channel.

Managing LPAR Number

LPAR number of the OSA Support Facility managing this channel (set to 0xFFFF if not being managed by a OSA/SF).

 

 

PCI BUS/
PROCESSOR LOAD subtable

 

Channel

The channel number for this interface.

PCI Bus Load

1 Minute

The average, over a 1-minute interval, of the percentage of time that the PCI bus was utilized to transfer data. It does not include idle time or time used by routine maintenance tasks. The range of valid values for this object is 0 to 100%. A value of -1 indicates that the value could not be retrieved from the adapter.

PCI Bus Load

5 Minutes

The average, over a 5-minute interval, of the percentage of time that the PCI bus was utilized to transfer data. It does not include idle time or time used by routine maintenance tasks. The range of valid values for this object is 0 to 100%. A value of -1 indicates that the value could not be retrieved from the adapter.

PCI Bus Load

60 Minutes

The average, over an hour interval, of the percentage of time that the PCI bus was utilized to transfer data. It does not include idle time or time used by routine maintenance tasks. The range of valid values for this object is 0 to 100%. A value of -1 indicates that the value could not be retrieved from the adapter.
