What is your level of CS? Thanks -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Zimmerman, Tom Sent: Monday, June 09, 2008 1:59 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: TCPIP Segmentation Offload
We have segmentation offload, microcode level 087D, running on eight of our OSAs for the last two weeks. We have eight LPARs, each with one tcpip stack. Each stack has two OSAs connected to it, with one running segmentation offlad and the other without it. It will be some time in JULY before I start segmentation offload on the second OSA.

Maybe we can cobble up something that should "stress" it to the breaking point (maybe FTP-ing some SMF offload datasets or sysdumps?). /quote/ We have a load of about 10% on the OSA's and still the segmentation offload managed to crash both shared osa's and managed to make most production-hosts unreachable. Of course this happened during the night in my standby week. :/ I wont activate it until I'm convinced that the risk of the same problems occuring is very very very small. -- Maarten Slegtenhorst ----------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION: The information in this electronic mail message is private and confidential, and only intended for the addressee.
