So just for me, you're saying it's a 10G card, and like IBM doc says 10G
cards won't negotiate. So if the switch is max 1G that seems to explain
the problem.
But the solution is interesting. IBM says the customer should never
swap SFP's in the I/O cards. Sounds like you did and it fixed the
problem, which is really why I'm asking because I've seen other
customers swap SFP's and cause more problems than it's worth.
Either way, glad to hear it's working now.

So I did wrap plug test to ensure the ports were fine and they were good
So after finally replacing the 10g SFP with 1G SFP from z14 fixed this
issue. Unfortunately the auto negotiate didn't helped.

Jumping in at the middle, so I apologize. I probably missed something.
Is this something that just stopped working or isn't working with a CPU
upgrade? In a recent upgrade
I did we had some OSA OSE ports that wouldn't activate and that is due to
the 1G speed but after
talking to the LAN / WAN network team I found the switch was hard coded at
100M. No one knows
why... lost history from z9, z196, z12, z13 upgrades.. Maybe printers or
something had to have that
long ago. (OSA OSE ports support SNA and TCPIP for those not in the
know).
Anyway, changing it to auto negotiate on the switch fixed it. I did have
to disable / re-enable the
port on the HMC for it to connect, so it wasn't just a switch change to
fix it. Luckily we ran into
the problem on our DR box upgrade first where it wasn't a real problem and
we knew what to do for 3 CPCs
in production (2 OSE ports on each) and actually swapped them all to 1G
prior to the z15 upgrades.
Now onto the next challenge in that z/OS 2.6 will not support the SNA
connections currently in use on
the OSEs. Turns out none are really used any more except on 2 LPARs to
connect to
AIX machines and those connections need to be migrated to Enterprise
Extender. We have a little
time though. :)
Best Regards,
Mark

Is it a 10G (1 port) or 1G (2 port) OSA card? 10G cards won't negotiate
speed, from what I've seen.

Hi
The OSA port is connected with working cable LC-LC MM fibre to the 1g
switch. From the Cisco switch it has been set as auto negotiate to yes.
Still from the mainframe the port doesn't show up the LED indication at
all. I tried toggling standby/online but still no luck. Ran port
diagnostics too with no error.
Not sure where to look. Has anyone faced a similar issue and have any
idea
on what needs to be done?

What's your question?
Link monitor means no physical connection to the switch, which means
you
card will not work.
Reason? A lot of, including broken cable, improper cable (MM instead of
SM and vice versa), bad connection (Tx to Tx...), disabled port on the
switch...

Hello
Cross posted
I apologize for my ignorance.
I was looking for the status of one of our OSA card under OSA advanced
facilities under HMC. For one of their PCHPID belonging to OSA shows
the
port status as 'LINK MONITOR'
When I checked with my network team if their switch sees the MAC
address
of
my OSA port but they don't see it.
From the physical cabling perspective what do I need to do?
