A key administrative function provided by OSA/SF is the ability to display and manipulate the contents of the OSA Address Table (OAT). The OAT contains such information as Devices, IP addresses, images or virtual MACs that are currently enabled on the OSA.

While the OAT can be displayed for OSD, OSN and OSE features, the ability to configure parameters in the OAT is a function that is specific to CHPID type OSE.

New HMC windows shows the HMC panels and functions provided by the new OSA/SF HMC capability.
