I have found a common problem of people not knowing which cable (port) belongs to which chpid. When looking at the card (feature): - The top port is chpid X - The bottom port is chpid X+1 For the OSA-Express3 GbE each chpid has TWO ports. The *chpid* numbers are still top-to-bottom, just as above. However, the PORT number within the chpid is from "outside-in"! That is, the top-most port on the card is port 0 of chpid X and the bottom-most port is port 0 of chpid X+1. (See Physical description in appendix of OSA-Express Customer Guide and Reference.) I had a customer who was insistent that the OSA or z/VM was broken. They were embarassed when I asked them to look at the OSA card and describe what they saw.
