CF Channel Paths attributes

The CF Channel Path attributes identify channel paths between z/OS systems and coupling facilities.

CF Name (RMF metric) The name of the coupling facility system to which this z/OS system is connected. A valid value is a string of up to 8 characters.

Managed Sysplex The z/OS Sysplex in your enterprise that an OMEGAMON for z/OS agent is monitoring. A valid value is a string of up to 32 characters.

Path Adapter ID (RMF metric) The hexadecimal adapter ID. For CIB channels it describes the host channel adapter (HCA) ID and for CS5 channels it describes the PCIe adapter ID. A valid value is an integer, displayed as a hexadecimal string. The range for this value is from 0 to 65535. A value of 0 indicates "<blank>".

Path Adapter Port number (RMF metric) The hexadecimal port number. For CIB channels it describes the host channel adapter port number and for CS5 channels it describes the PCIe adapter port number. A valid value is an integer, displayed as a hexadecimal string. The range for this value is from 0 to 65535. A value of 0 indicates "<blank>".

Path CHID (RMF metric) The physical channel identifier. A valid value is a string of up to 4 characters.

Path Degraded (RMF metric) Indicates that the channel path is operating at reduced capacity (degraded) or not operating at all. A valid value is a string of up to 1 characters.

Path Distance (RMF metric) The estimated distance, in kilometers, between the CF and the z/OS system. A value of zero means that the time was not measured. A valid value is an integer. Values appear on the workspace as follows:

Path ID (RMF metric) The hexadecimal identifier of a channel path (CHPID) that is connected to the coupling facility. A valid value is an integer, displayed as a hexadecimal string. The range for this value is from 0 to 255.

Path IOP IDs (RMF metric) The hexadecimal identifiers of I/O processors (System Assist Processors) to which the channel path is accessible. A valid value is an integer, displayed as a hexadecimal string. The range for this value is from 0 to 65535. A value of 0 indicates "<blank>".

Path Operation Mode (RMF metric) Channel path operation mode. It describes the data rate, bandwidth, protocol, and adapter type of the channel path. A valid value is a string of up to 30 characters.

Path Type (RMF metric) The channel path type. A valid value is a string of up to 4 characters.

System Name The name of the system attached to the coupling facility (from IEASYSxx Parmlib member, SYSNAME parameter). A valid value is a string of up to 8 characters.
