OSA-Express3 Ports Summary workspace
The OSA-Express3 Ports Summary workspace displays performance data
for the OSA-Express3 Ethernet adapters. The OSA-Express3 Ports Summary
workspace is accessed only as a drill-down from the existing
OSA Channels workspace. The drill-down link from the OSA Channels
workspace is enabled only when the OSA channel Subtype attribute
value defines the adapter as an OSA-Express3. The OSA channel Subtype attribute is a field contained in the OSA-Express Channels Summary table workspace.
To display the OSA-Express3 Ports Summary workspace, do the following:
- Click the OSA navigator item for a specific
TCP/IP stack to display the OSA Channels workspace.
- If the value for the OSA channel Subtype attribute
in the Ports Summary for Channel abc Summary table is osaexp3gigabitEthernet,
osaexp3oneThousandBaseTEthernet, or osaexp3tenGigabitEthernet, right-click
the Link icon by one of the rows of the Ports
Summary for Channel xyz Summary table.
- A conditional link is displayed in the list of available links.
Select OSA-Express3 Ports to display the OSA-Express3 Ports Summary workspace.
Note:
If the address space being monitored
is running under z/OS v1.11 or earlier, all data is colleced using
the IBM® OSA-Express Direct SNMP
Enterprise Specific MIB. If the address space being monitored is running
under z/OS v1.12 or later, then some OSA data is collected using the z/OS® Communications Server callable
network management interface (NMI).
Notes:
- Some OSA-Express3 Gigabit adapter can have 2 ports per OSA CHPID
or four per physical card/feature.
- If the address space being monitored is running under
z/OS v1.11 or earlier, all data is colleced using the IBM OSA-Express Direct SNMP Enterprise Specific
MIB. If the address space being monitored is running under z/OS v1.12
or later, then some OSA data is collected using the z/OS Communications Server callable network management
interface (NMI).
The OSA-Express3 Ports Summary workspace contains the following
views
- Current Packets: Displays the number of
packets received or packets transmitted by the specified port over
the current collection interval. The information is presented in
a bar graph where:
- Yellow represents the number of packets
received over the current collection period
- Blue represents the number of packets transmitted
over the current collection period
This data applies to a channel selected from the OSA Channels
workspace.
- Current Good Packets: Displays the number
of good (without error) packets transmitted with a length of >= 64
bytes and good (without error) packets of any length received by
the specified port over the current collection interval. The information
is presented in a bar graph where:
- Yellow represents the number of good (without
error) packets received over the current collection period.
- Blue represents the number of good (without
error) packets transmitted over the current collection period.
This data applies to a channel selected from the OSA Channels
workspace.
- Current Octets: Displays the number of
octets received or octets transmitted by the specified port over the
current collection interval. The information is presented in a bar
graph where:
- Yellow represents the number of octets received
over the current collection period
- Blue represents the number of octets transmitted
over the current collection period
This data applies to a channel selected from the OSA Channels
workspace.
- Current Good Octets: Displays the number
of octets received or octets transmitted by the specified port over
the current collection interval. The information is presented in
a bar graph where:
- Yellow represents the number of good (without
error) octets received over the current collection period
- Blue represents the number of good (without
error) octets transmitted over the current collection period
This data applies to a channel selected from the OSA Channels
workspace.
- Ports Summary for Channel xyz Summary
table:
Provides summary data for the selected OSA-Express3 port summary data,
where xyz is the selected channel number link attribute.
Ports Summary for Channel xyz Summary
table
The Ports Summary for Channel xyz Summary table provides
summary data for the selected OSA-Express3 port summary data, where xyz is
the selected channel number link attribute.
Right-click the Link icon by a row in the Ports Summary for Channel xyz Summary table in this workspace to display
the following workspaces:
- OSA-Express3 10 Gigabit Port Throughput Detail
workspace (default): Displays performance data for the OSA-Express3
Ethernet adapters.
- OSA-Express3 Port Errors workspace: Displays
error data for the OSA-Express3 Ethernet adapters.
- OSA-Express3 Port Control workspace: Displays
control data for the OSA-Express3 Ethernet adapters.
- Gateways and Devices workspace:
Displays gateway and device information for the selected OSA port,
as filtered by the Interface Index attribute.
- OSA Port Interfaces workspace (deprecated):
Displays interface information for the selected OSA port, as filtered
by the Interface Index attribute. This link is available when the
address space being monitored is running on z/OS v1.11 or earlier
only.
- Interface Status workspace: Displays
interface status information for the selected OSA port as filtered
by the Interface Index and Port Interface Index attributes. This
link is available when the address space being monitored is running
on z/OS v1.12 or later only.
- Interface Statistics workspace:
Displays interface statistics information for the selected OSA port
as filtered by the Interface Index and Port Interface Index attributes.
This link is available when the address space being monitored is
running on z/OS v1.12 or later only.
For a complete list of the attributes available in the Ports Summary
for Channel xyz Summary table, and a brief description of
each, see the OSA-Express3 Ports Summary Attributes help panel.
Note:
OMEGAMON(R) XE for Mainframe
Networks calculates the "in G" attributes as long as it is running.
However, if the agent is stopped and restarted, the value displayed
would not necessarily be the number of packets since the OSA port
was reset.
