Our VM system has one VSWITCH defined which can use either of 2 OSA interfaces. One interface is on CHPID FA and the other is on FB. Both interfaces come up as "1000 Mbps full duplex". The FA chpid is showing fairly high processor utilization and FB is showing almost nothing, neither of them are showing any dropped packets or other errors.
The high utilization is caused by whatever is using the interfaces, which in this case is the VSWITCH that the Linux machines are on. Apparently the VSWITCH only uses one interface at a time which is why the FA chpid is quite busy and the FB chpid shows almost nothing. Does anyone know if there is a way to remedy this situation? We had mail servers backing up for 2 days. Lori G.
