Use the OSA-Express Channels attributes to create situations that monitor OSA-Express channels usage.
Channel Hardware Level The hardware model of the channel. A valid value is an integer. Values appear on the workspace as follows:
Channel Number The channel path identifier (CHPID) corresponding to this device. A valid value is a string of up to two hexadecimal characters.
Channel Type The type of channel for this interface. A valid value is an integer. Values appear on the workspace as follows:
Collection Time The time and date of the data sampling. This time is displayed in the following format:
mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss (Tivoli Enterprise Portal) or yy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss (3270)
Where:
This time is stored as 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. A valid value is an integer, displayed as 4-digit hexadecimal string in the range of 0x0000 to 0xFFFF. A value of 0 indicates "<blank>".
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. A valid value is a string of up to 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. A valid value is an integer. A value of -1 indicates "<blank>".
Note: This field is not available for the OSA direct SNMP interface.
Device or Port Name The name of the TCP/IP device or port associated with this channel. A valid value is a string of up to 16 characters.
Host Name The host name of the TCP/IP stack. A valid value is a string of up to 255 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. A valid value is a string of up to 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 or -1 if not being managed by an OSA/SF). A valid value is an integer. A value of -1 indicates "<blank>".
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. A valid value is an integer, displayed as a hexadecimal number.
Mode The configured mode of the OSA-Express adapter. The mode is set to nothingConfigured for channels that are not configured for LAN Emulation. A valid value is an integer. Values appear on the workspace as follows:
Note: This field is not available for the OSA direct SNMP interface.
Origin Node The unique identifier for the TCP/IP stack being displayed. A valid value is a string of up to 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 count does not include idle time or time used by routine maintenance tasks. A valid value is an integer.
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 count does not include idle time or time used by routine maintenance tasks. A valid value is an integer.
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 count does not include idle time or time used by routine maintenance tasks. A valid value is an integer.
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. A valid value 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 count does not include idle time or time used by routine maintenance tasks. A valid value is an integer.
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 count does not include idle time or time used by routine maintenance tasks. A valid value is an integer.
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 count does not include idle time or time used by routine maintenance tasks. A valid value is an integer.
Share Indicator Indicates whether the OSA-Express feature can be shared across multiple LPARs. A valid value is an integer. Values appear on the workspace as follows:
State The state of the hardware channel. A valid value is an integer. Values appear on the workspace as follows:
Note: This field is not available for the OSA direct SNMP interface.
Subtype The type of OSA feature present. A valid value is an integer. Values appear on the workspace as follows:
System ID The System Management Facility (SMF) system identifier for the z/OS system where the OMEGAMON for Networks monitoring agent collected the data. A valid value is a string of up to 4 characters.
TCPIP STC Name The TCP/IP started task name. A valid value is a string of up to 8 characters.
