OSA-Express3 Ports Summary Workspace

The OSA-Express3 Ports Summary workspace displays performance data for the OSA-Express3 Ethernet adapters. The OSA-Express3 Ports Summary workspace is accessed only as a drill-down from the existing OSA Channels workspace. The drill-down link from the OSA Channels workspace is enabled only when the OSA channel Subtype attribute value defines the adapter as an OSA-Express3. The OSA channel Subtype attribute is a field contained in the OSA-Express Channels Summary Table workspace.

To display the OSA-Express3 Ports Summary workspace, do the following:

  1. Click the OSA navigator item for a specific TCP/IP stack to display the OSA Channels workspace.
  2. If the value for the OSA channel Subtype attribute in the Port Summary for Channel abc Summary Table is osaexp3gigabitEthernet, osaexp3oneThousandBaseTEthernet, or osaexp3tenGigabitEthernet,, right-click the Link icon by one of the rows of the Port Summary for Channel xyz summary table.
  3. A conditional link is displayed in the list of available links. Select OSA-Express3 Ports to display the OSA-Express3 Ports Summary workspace.
Note:
Some OSA-Express3 Gigabit adapter can have 2 ports per OSA CHPID or four per physical card/feature.

The OSA-Express3 Ports Summary workspace contains the following views

Ports Summary for Channel xyz summary table

The Ports Summary for Channel xyz summary table provides summary data for the selected OSA-Express3 port summary data, where xyz is the selected channel number link attribute.

For a complete list of the attributes available in the Ports Summary for Channel xyz summary table, and a brief description of each, see the OSA Express3 Ports Summary Attributes help panel.

Note:
OMEGAMON XE for Mainframe Networks calculates the "in G" attributes as long as it is running. However, if the agent is stopped and restarted, the value displayed would not necessarily be the number of packets since the OSA port was reset.
