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:
- 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 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.
- 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
- Current Packets: Displays the number of packets
received or packets transmitted by the specified port over the current collection
interval. The information is presented in a bar graph where:
- Yellow represents the number of packets received over the current collection
period
- Blue represents the number of packets transmitted over the current collection
period
This data applies to a channel selected from the OSA Channels workspace.
- Current Good Packets: Displays the number of good
(without error) packets with a length of >= 64 bytes and <= 1518 bytes
received by the specified port over the current collection interval. The
information is presented in a bar graph where:
- Yellow represents the number of good (without error) packets received
over the current collection period
- Blue represents the number of good (without error) packets transmitted
over the current collection period
This data applies to a channel selected from the OSA Channels workspace.
- Current Octets: Displays the number of octets received
or octets transmitted by the specified port over the current collection interval.
The information is presented in a bar graph where:
- Yellow represents the number of octets received over the current collection
period
- Blue represents the number of octets transmitted over the current collection
period
This data applies to a channel selected from the OSA Channels workspace.
- Current Good Octets: Displays the number of octets
received or octets transmitted by the specified port over the current collection
interval. The information is presented in a bar graph where:
- Yellow represents the number of good (without error) octets received over
the current collection period
- Blue represents the number of good (without error) octets transmitted
over the current collection period
This data applies to a channel selected from the OSA Channels workspace.
- 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.
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.
