Pat The OSA gets information from Communications Server (SNA since it's a TRLE) and, if it has more than one port, it needs to know to which port the information applies. It seems Linux and VM and a certain OSA EC level have managed to work out how to avoid using the port name. It would be fascinating to know how they have achieved this.
Incidentally, I had some difficulty trying to work out whether you had an "issue" or a "problem". On balance, given the context, I plumped for "problem". Unfortunately I can see the contagion is spreading to our poor brothers who do not have English as their first language since I came across a post today from very probably a Chinese gentleman who appears to be unaware that the word "problem" exists.
