OSA Express Channels Attributes

Use the OSA Express Channels attributes to create situations that monitor OSA express channels usage.

Channel Number The channel path identifier (CHPID) corresponding to this device. The format is a string of two hexadecimal characters.

Channel Type The type of channel for this interface. The only value for this field is:

17 = OSADirectExpress

Collection Time The time and date of the data sampling. This time is displayed in the following format:

mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss

Where:

The stored format is a string no longer than 16 characters in the format CYYMMDDHHMMSSmmm (as in 1020315064501000 for 03/15/02 06:45:01) where:

Control Unit Number The logical control unit number associated with the OSA-Express Channel. The format is an integer, displayed as three hex digits (hi-nibble ignored).

Note:
This field is not available for the OSA direct SNMP interface.

Current LPAR Name The name of the LPAR from which this data was retrieved. The format is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 8 characters.

Note:
This field is not available for the OSA direct SNMP interface.

Current LPAR Number The number of the LPAR from which this data was retrieved. The format is an integer.

Note:
This field is not available for the OSA direct SNMP interface.

Device Name The name of the TCP/IP device associated with this channel. The format is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 16 characters.

Managing LPAR Name The LPAR name of the OSA Support Facility managing this channel. Only one OSA/SF can manage an OSA-Express Channel within an z/OS Sysplex, though multiple OSA/SFs can retrieve information from the same OSA-Express Channel. The format is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 8 characters.

Note:
This field is not available for the OSA direct SNMP interface.

Managing LPAR Number The LPAR number of the OSA Support Facility managing this channel (set to 0xFFFF if not being managed by an OSA/SF). The format is an integer and 0xFFFF is displayed as spaces.

Note:
This field is not available for the OSA direct SNMP interface.

Micro Code Level The firmware (or micro code level) of the OSA feature. The format is an integer 2 bytes in length that is represented as 4 hex digits.

Mode Indicates the configured mode of the OSA-Express adapter. The mode is set to NothingConfigured(1) for QD that are not configured for LAN Emulation. The format is an integer. The possible values are:

Note:
This field is not available for the OSA direct SNMP interface.

Origin Node The unique identifier for the TCP/IP stack being displayed. The format is an alphanumeric string no longer than 32 characters.

PCI Utilization Per Five Minutes The average, over a 5-minute interval, of the percentage of time that the PCI bus was utilized to transfer data. This does not include idle time or time used by routine maintenance tasks. The range for this value is from 0% to 100%.

PCI Utilization Per Minute The average, over a 1-minute interval, of the percentage of time that the PCI bus was utilized to transfer data. This does not include idle time or time used by routine maintenance tasks. The range for this value is from 0% to 100%.

PCI Utilization Per One Hour The average, over a 1-hour interval, of the percentage of time that the PCI bus was utilized to transfer data. This does not include idle time or time used by routine maintenance tasks. The range for this value is from 0% to 100%.

Port Count The number of ports on the OSA-Express adapter. For ATM155 QDIO LAN Emulation mode adapters, the value can be 1 or 2, depending on the number of logical ports configured. The format is an integer.

Processor Utilization Per Five Minutes The average, over a 5 minute interval, of the percentage of time that the channel path identifier (CHPID) processor was utilized to transfer data. This does not include idle time or time used by routine maintenance tasks. The range for this value is from 0% to 100%.

Processor Utilization Per Minute The average, over a 1 minute interval, of the percentage of time that the channel path identifier (CHPID) processor was utilized to transfer data. This does not include idle time or time used by routine maintenance tasks. The range for this value is from 0% to 100%.

Processor Utilization Per One Hour The average, over a 1 hour interval, of the percentage of time that the channel path identifier (CHPID) processor was utilized to transfer data. This does not include idle time or time used by routine maintenance tasks. The range for this value is from 0% to 100%.

Share Indicator An OSA-Express feature can be shared across multiple LPARs. The possible values are:

State The state of the hardware channel. The possible values are:

Note:
This field is not available for the OSA direct SNMP interface.

Subtype The type of OSA feature present. The possible values are:

System ID The SMF system ID. The format is an alphanumeric string no longer than 4 characters.

TCP Host Name The host name of TCP/IP stack. The format is an alphanumeric string no longer than 255 characters.

TCPIP STC Name The name of the TCP/IP job. The format is an alphanumeric string no longer than 8 characters.
