Hi Chris The Processor was only delivered in January so I assuming it has all the latest levels of microcode. CODE LEVEL = 0891
I'm following the instructions in APENDIX B of the following manual http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpieces/abstracts/sg245948.html?Open&open& cm_mmc=4851-_-n-_-vrm_newsletter-_-10300_105452&cmibm_em=dm:0:7664116 Example B-11 shows the TRACE DEV to be in a ACTIVE status where mine is in RESET ? I have enabled the OSA-Express NTA via the HMC as per Figure B-5 in the manual. > Does anyone know how to activate it? Sorry this is a bit misleading How Do I get the trace Device to an ACTIVE status as apposed to RESET Hope this make sense Regards Stuart -Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Chris Mason Sent: 04 March 2009 15:10 To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: OSAENTA device problem Stuart Here's what is said about the PORTNAME operand of the VARY TCPIP,,OSAENTA command in the Communications Server (CS) IP System Administrator's Commands: <quote> PORTNAME=osa_port_name Specifies the name of the OSA port for which tracing is desired. This is the same port name that is defined on the VTAM TRLE statement PORTNAME keyword. This parameter is required. Tip: You are not required to also define OSA-Express to TCP/IP using the DEVICE/LINK or INTERFACE statement in order to collect trace data. Restriction: Multiple stacks cannot use the tracing function concurrently for a given OSA. </quote> > VARY TCPIP,TCPIP,OSAENTA,ON,PORTNAME=TRL408 is your command and > TRL408 TRLE LNCTL=MPC, > MPCLEVEL=QDIO, > READ=0408, > WRITE=0409, > DATAPATH=(040A,40B), > PORTNAME=OSA408 is your TRLE statement. You appear to be using the TRLE statement name rather than the name given by the PORTNAME operand. It's possible that this has something to do with your problem. To answer your presumed question - edited into an English sentence: > Does anyone know how to activate it? but tentatively, try the following: VARY TCPIP,TCPIP,OSAENTA,ON,PORTNAME=OSA408 Before this post appeared, I had spotted the OSAENTA "thing" only with peripheral vision while researching other OSA-related topics, so thanks for the opportunity to become more closely acquainted with it. Incidentally 1: I see from the section on OSAENTA in the CS IP Configuration Guide that OSAENTA support depends on the OSA-Express2 feature in some way. Perhaps it is a matter of a microcode upgrade. Have you checked that your OSA feature supports OSAENTA? Incidentally 2: From the example of the output from a DISPLAY NET,TRL,TRLE command in the CS SNA Operations manual, I see only one DATA DEVice with STATUS=ACTIVE and three with STATUS=RESET. Given that this tracing function is a bit of a fiddle using existing structures, are you sure that the status of the DATA DEVice should change from RESET to ACTIVE? Perhaps someone who has already used the OSAENTA function can clarify this point. Incidentally 3: "BOOK"! There's a bit of a VSE flavour about that isn't there?
