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
|
|
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: |
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/ |
|
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. |
