OSA Performance (G)

The OSA Performance table provides performance information per each LPAR's utilization of an OSA-Express adapter. The (G) indicates that graphs are available. The values are reset when the adapter CHPID is reset.

 

Figure 95. OSA Performance Table

The fields on the OSA Peformance Table are:

LPAR Number

LPAR number of the LPAR to which the performance objects apply.

Processor Load

1 Minute

The average percentage of time that the CHPID Processor was utilized to transfer data for a specific LPAR over a 1-minute interval. 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.

Processor Load

5 Minutes

The average percentage of time that the CHPID Processor was utilized to transfer data for a specific LPAR over a 5-minute interval. 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 the value could not be retrieved from the adapter.

Processor Load

60 Minutes

The average percentage of time that the CHPID Processor was utilized to transfer data for a specific LPAR over a one-hour interval. 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.

In KBytes Rate

1 Minute

The average number of inbound kilobytes processed for a specific LPAR over a 1-minute interval. When the ibmMvsOsaExpPerfProcessorUtil1Min object for a specific LPAR has a value of -1, the interval data could not be retrieved from the adapter and this object has a value of zero.

In KBytes Rate

5 Minutes

The average number of inbound kilobytes processed for a specific LPAR over a 5-minute interval. When the ibmMvsOsaExpPerfProcessorUtil5Min object for a specific LPAR has a value of -1, then the interval data could not be retrieved from the adapter and this object has a value of zero.

In KBytes Rate

60 Minutes

The average number of inbound kilobytes processed for a specific LPAR over a 5-minute interval. When the ibmMvsOsaExpPerfProcessorUtil5Min object for a specific LPAR has a value of -1, then the interval data could not be retrieved from the adapter and this object has a value of zero.

Outbound KBytes Rate

1 Minute

The average number of outbound kilobytes processed for a specific LPAR over a 1-minute interval. When the ibmMvsOsaExpPerfProcessorUtil1Min object for a specific LPAR has a value of -1, then the interval data could not be retrieved from the adapter and this object has a value of zero.

Out KBytes Rate

5 Minutes

The average the number of outbound kilobytes processed for a specific LPAR over a 5-minute interval. When the ibmMvsOsaExpPerfProcessorUtil5Min object for a specific LPAR has a value of -1, then the interval data could not be retrieved from the adapter and this object has a value of zero.

Out KBytes Rate

60 Minutes

The average number of outbound kilobytes processed for a specific LPAR over a one-hour interval. When the ibmMvsOsaExpPerfProcessorUtilHour object for a specific LPAR has a value of -1, then the interval data could not be retrieved from the adapter and this object has a value of zero.
