OSA/SF doesn't work with the newer OSA and mainframe hardware. Can't remember 
if it stopped with OSA-E4 or OSA-E5.

These functions moved from OSA/SF to the hardware console instead.

Around the same time the z/OS D TCPIP,,OSAINFO command was introduced to 
replace (most of) the OSA/SF display functions.

You need 1 OSAD per CHPID, in other words 1 OSAD per two ports.

Caution: you wrote about 2 CHPID per card. It is NOT true for many years, that 
means OSA-Express6s, 5s and 4s have 1 CHPID per card.
The last card with two CHPIDs per card was OSA-Express3, the long one, for 
older I/O Cage or I/O Drawer. It was standard feature of z196, newer machines 
could use it as Carry Forward only.
