Hi Tim, I followed the examples found in the "OSA-Express Implementation Guide" Redbook: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg245948.html This was just a draft copy when I downloaded it, but now it looks official. Here's an excerpt:
The Open Systems Adapter Support Facility (OSA/SF) is used primarily to: Manage all OSA ports Configure all OSA non-QDIO ports Configure ATM LANE ports on z800 and z900 servers Configure local MAC The non-QDIO native SNA is how I did our conversion, and the reason I used OSA/SF. It's possible that OSA/SF isn't required for Enterprise Extender and SNA over IP - that seemed like more work to me. We're a small Sub Area network with few 'outside' connections. I'm not sure who told you that you couldn't use it, but I did on our OSA (feature 1366). I hope the link helps!
