According to the OSA/ICC user's guide, you define an ICC as type OSC in the HCD. That being the case, we have 2 OSA-Express cards in our z9BC. Each of these is being used with 1 port being defined as OSD and the other port is defined as OSC. We are running our TCP/IP traffic through the OSD ports on both OSA cards and are pushing our console traffic to the OSC ports on each card. We are sharing both the OSC and OSD ports across 3 LPARs. Rex Unfortunately I can't respond directly to Gadi's question as I don't have the answer. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Hal Merritt Sent: Tuesday, May 19, 2009 8:33 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Problem configuring OSA express card using OSA/SF Some (most?) OSA adapter cards cannot be used for both ICC and OSE. That is, if one port is set up as ICC, the other port is unusable. At least that is what we have been told. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of ??? ?? ???

We have OSA Express2 1000Base cards. One port is defined as ICC (OSC) and the other as OSE. We would like to share the OSE port between all the LPARs defined on the computer and be used for SNA as well as TCP/IP. Each LPAR has one 'real' address defined and many virtual (VIPA) addresses. As far as I understand I have to perform the following steps using IOACMD: 1. Option 4 get_config. - Perfromed successfully 2. Option 6 - get_OSA_access_table - did not work OK. I got these messages: OAT data received for entry 1 is corrupted eyecatcher IOA_OATENTRY not found where expected EXEC ending I copied the definitions from SIOASAMP and customized them as I understood. 3. When I tried to configure the OSA using option 2 in IOACMD I didn't get an option for a OSA express2 1000BaseT. I pressed ENTER which is supposed to locate all the OSA cards, but none were found. I spoke to someone who suggested I reset the card, but that did not help. I tried varying the channel offline and online. Didn't help We are running z/OS 1.9 on a z890. Our SE tells us we are up to date on all microcode updates. Can anyone help?
