OSA LPARS Workspace

The OSA LPARS workspace provides OSA channel statistics for each LPAR.

This workspace is displayed by right-clicking on the link icon for a specific channel in the OSA Express Channels Summary table.

Summary information is provided in the OSA Express LPARs Channel Usage Summary Table located at the bottom of the workspace. The bar charts in this workspace are:

Processor Utilization > 0 Bar Chart

This bar chart provides data on the average percentage of time that the CHPID processor was used to transfer data for a specific LPAR. The yellow bar applies to data collected over a 1 minute interval. The blue bar applies to data collected over a 5 minute interval, and the red bar applies to data collected over a 1 hour interval. This data applies to a channel selected from the OSA Channels workspace.

Input Kilobyte Rate > 0 Bar Chart

This bar chart shows data on the average number of kilobytes received that were processed for a specific LPAR. The yellow bar applies to data collected over a 1 minute interval. The blue bar applies to data collected over a 5 minute interval, and the red bar applies to data collected over a 1 hour interval. This data applies to a channel selected from the OSA Channels workspace.

Output Kilobyte Rate > 0 Bar Chart

This bar chart shows data on the average number of kilobytes sent that were processed for a specific LPAR. The yellow bar applies to data collected over a 1 minute interval. The blue bar applies to data collected over a 5 minute interval, and the red bar applies to data collected over a 1 hour interval. This data applies to a channel selected from the OSA Channels workspace.

Note: When the processor utilization for a specific LPAR has value of -1, then interval data was not retrieved from the adapter and this field contains a 0 (zero) value.

OSA Express LPARs Channel Usage Summary Table

The OSA Express LPARs Channel Usage summary table contains channel usage data, such as the LPAR name and number, the kilobyte rate in, the kilobyte rate out, and the processor utilization. This data applies to a channel selected from the OSA Channels workspace.

For a complete list of the attributes available in the OSA Express LPARs summary table, and a brief description of each, see the OSA Express LPARs Attributes help panel.
