OSA Express LPARS Attributes

Use the OSA Express LPARS attributes to create situations that monitor OSA-Express LPAR usage.

Channel Number The channel path identifier (CHPID) corresponding to this device. The format is a string of two hexadecimal characters.

Collection Time The time and date of the data sampling. This time is displayed in the following format:

mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss

Where:

The stored format is a string no longer than 16 characters in the format CYYMMDDHHMMSSmmm (as in 1020315064501000 for 03/15/02 06:45:01) where:

Kilobyte Rate In Per Minute The average, over a 1 minute interval, of the number of kilobytes received that were processed for the specific LPAR. When the Processor Utilization Per Minute attribute for a specific LPAR has a value of -1, then the interval data was not retrieved from the adapter and this attribute has a value of 0. The format is an unsigned integer.

Kilobyte Rate In Per Five Minutes The average, over a 5 minute interval, of the number of kilobytes received that were processed for the specific LPAR. When the Processor Utilization Per Five Minutes attribute for a specific LPAR has a value of -1, then the interval data was not retrieved from the adapter and this attribute has a value of 0. The format is an unsigned integer.

Kilobyte Rate In Per Hour The average, over a 1 hour interval, of the number of kilobytes received that were processed for the specific LPAR. When the Processor Utilization Per Hour attribute for a specific LPAR has a value of -1, then the interval data was not retrieved from the adapter and this attribute has a value of 0. The format an unsigned integer.

Kilobyte Rate Out Per Minute The average, over a 1 minute interval, of the number of kilobytes sent that were processed for the specific LPAR. The format is an unsigned integer.

Kilobyte Rate Out Per Five Minutes The average, over a 5 minute interval, of the number of kilobytes sent that were processed for the specific LPAR. When the Processor Utilization Per Five Minutes attribute for a specific LPAR has a value of -1, then the interval data was not retrieved from the adapter and this attribute has a value of 0. The format is an unsigned integer.

Kilobyte Rate Out Per Hour The average, over a 1 hour interval, of the number of kilobytes sent that were processed for the specific LPAR. When the Processor Utilization Per Hour attribute for a specific LPAR has a value of -1, then the interval data was not retrieved from the adapter and this attribute has a value of 0. The format is an unsigned integer.

LPAR Logical Channel Subsystem The logical channel subsystem to which the performance data refers. For an IBM eServer zSeries 800 or 900 system, there is only one logical channel subsystem that is indicated by a value of 0 (zero). For a IBM eServer zSeries 990 system, there can be multiple logical channels. They are numbered starting with zero (for example, five subsystems would be number 0 to 4). The format is an unsigned integer.

LPAR Name The name of the logical partition from which this data was retrieved. This is not necessarily the z/OS system ID. The format is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 8 characters.

LPAR Number The number of the logical partition from which this data was retrieved. The format is an unsigned integer.

LPAR Status The status of the LPAR. This attribute is valid for IBM eServer zSeries 990 or greater hardware only and indicates whether the LPAR is unknown, online, or offline. This value is stored as an unsigned integer and displayed as a string. The possible values are:

Origin Node The unique identifier for the TCP/IP stack being displayed. The format is an alphanumeric string no longer than 32 characters.

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 used to transfer data for the specific LPAR. This count does not include idle time or time used by routine maintenance tasks. The range for this value is from 0% to 100%. The format is an unsigned 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 used to transfer data for the specific LPAR. This count does not include idle time or time used by routine maintenance tasks. The range for this value is from 0% to 100%. The format is an unsigned integer.

Processor Utilization Per Hour The average, over a 1 hour interval, of the percentage of time that the channel path identifier (CHPID) processor was used to transfer data for the specific LPAR. This count does not include idle time or time used by routine maintenance tasks. The range for this value is from 0% to 100%. A value of -1 indicates that the value was not retrieved from the adapter. The format is an unsigned integer.
