OSA Express LPARS Attributes

Use the OSA Express LPARS attributes to create situations that monitor OSA Express LPARS usage.

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

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:

Kilobyte Rate In Per Minute The average, over a 1 minute interval, of the number of kilobytes received that were processed for the specific LPAR. When the Processor Utilization Per Minute attribute for a specific LPAR has a value of -1, then the interval data was not retrieved from the adapter and this attribute has a value of 0. The format is an integer.

Kilobyte Rate In Per Five Minutes The average, over a 5 minute interval, of the number of kilobytes received that were processed for the specific LPAR. When the Processor Utilization Per Five Minutes attribute for a specific LPAR has a value of -1, then the interval data was not retrieved from the adapter and this attribute has a value of 0. The format is an integer.

Kilobyte Rate In Per Hour The average, over a 1 hour interval, of the number of kilobytes received that were processed for the specific LPAR. When the Processor Utilization Per Hour attribute for a specific LPAR has a value of -1, then the interval data was not retrieved from the adapter and this attribute has a value of 0. The format an integer.

Kilobyte Rate Out Per Minute The average, over a 1 minute interval, of the number of kilobytes sent that were processed for the specific LPAR. The format is an integer.

Kilobyte Rate Out Per Five Minutes The average, over a 5 minute interval, of the number of kilobytes sent that were processed for the specific LPAR. When the Processor Utilization Per Five Minutes attribute for a specific LPAR has a value of -1, then the interval data was not retrieved from the adapter and this attribute has a value of 0. The format is an integer.

Kilobyte Rate Out Per Hour The average, over a 1 hour interval, of the number of kilobytes sent that were processed for the specific LPAR. When the Processor Utilization Per Hour attribute for a specific LPAR has a value of -1, then the interval data was not retrieved from the adapter and this attribute has a value of 0. The format is an integer.

LPAR Logical Channel Subsystem The logical channel subsystem to which the performance data refers. For a z900 or z800 system, there is only one logical channel subsystem that is indicated by a CSSid value of 0 (zero). For a z990 system, there can be multiple. They are numbered starting with zero (for example, five subsystems would be number 0 to 4).

LPAR Name The name of the logical partition from which this data was retrieved. This is not necessarily the z/OS system ID. The format is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 8 characters.

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

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

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 used to transfer data for the specific LPAR. This does not include idle time or time used by routine maintenance tasks. The range for this value is from 0% to 100%. A value of -1 indicates that the value was not retrieved from the adapter.

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

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 used to transfer data for the specific LPAR. This does not include idle time or time used by routine maintenance tasks. The range for this value is from 0% to 100%. A value of -1 indicates that the value was not retrieved from the adapter.
