OSA-Express5S Ports Summary workspace
The OSA-Express5S Ports Summary workspace displays performance information for the OSA-Express5S and OSA-Express6S Ethernet adapters. The OSA-Express5S Ports Summary workspace is accessed only as a drilldown from the OSA Channels workspace. The drilldown link from the OSA Channels workspace is enabled only when the OSA channel Subtype attribute value defines the adapter as an OSA-Express5S. The OSA channel Subtype attribute is a field contained in the OSA-Express Channels Summary table workspace.
To display the OSA-Express5S 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 channel_number table is osaexp5gigabitEthernet, osaexp5oneThousandBaseTEthernet or osaexp5tenGigabitEthernet, right-click the Link icon by one of the rows of the Ports Summary for Channel channel_number table.
- Click OSA-Express5S Ports to display the OSA-Express5S Ports Summary workspace.
Note: Some OSA-Express adapters can have two ports per OSA CHPID or four per physical
card/feature.

- Right-click the OSA Navigator item to display the following workspaces:
- Links to other workspaces:
- This workspace links to the following workspace:
- OSA-Express5S Port Details workspace: Displays detailed performance data for the OSA-Express5S or OSA-Express6S Ethernet adapter.
- Data source:
- The IBM® Enterprise MIB and IBM OSA–Express Direct SNMP Enterprise Specific MIB or the IBMTCPIPMVS-MIB are the sources of data for this workspace. Some OSA data is collected using the z/OS® Communications Server callable network management interface (NMI).
- Data filter:
- None
- Configuration parameter:
- Set the values indicated for the following PARMGEN parameters:
and eitherKN3_TCP_COLLECT_STACK Y
orKN3_TCP_OSA Y
You must enable the SNMP daemon.KN3_TCP_OSA_COLL Y - Views:
- The OSA-Express5S Ports Summary workspace contains the following views:
- Packet Rate: Displays the names of OSA-Express5S and OSA-Express6S ports and packet rate during the most recent collection interval. The information is presented in a bar graph where Yellow represents packet rate.
- Packets Sent or Received: Displays the names of OSA-Express5S
and OSA-Express6S ports with packets sent or received during the
most recent collection interval. The information is presented in a
bar graph where:
- Yellow represents packet sent.
- Blue represents packets received.
- No Free Buffers or Descriptors: Displays the names of
OSA-Express5S and OSA-Express6S ports with no free buffers or
descriptors during the most recent collection interval. The
information is presented in a bar graph where:
- Yellow represents no free buffer space on NIC.
- Blue represents no free descriptors on LAN.
- Pink represents no free descriptors on NIC.
- Packet Errors: Displays the names of OSA-Express5S and
OSA-Express6S ports with packet errors during the most recent
collection interval. The information is presented in a bar graph
where:
- Yellow represents alignment errors.
- Blue represents jabber frames received.
- Pink represents frame check sequence errors.
- Green represents undersized frames received.
- Cyan represents oversized frames received.
- Olive represents length packets received.
- Ports Errors for Channel channel_number table: Displays error data for the OSA-Express5S and OSA-Express6S ports, where channel_number is the selected channel number link attribute.
- Ports Summary for Channel channel_number table: Displays summary data for the OSA-Express5S and OSA-Express6S ports, where channel_number is the selected channel number link attribute.
