Monitoring I/O Adapters and Modules
Use the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) or the OSM Service Connection to monitor the FCSAs,
G4SAs, and ServerNet/DAs.
Monitoring the FCSAs
For a general, top-down approach for using OSM to monitor system components, refer to Using
OSM to Monitor the System on page 3-7.
To monitor the FCSA and its attached devices with SCF, use the SCF INFO and SCF STATUS
commands.
For example, to monitor all FCSAs using SCF:
> SCF STATUS ADAPTER $ZZSTO.#FCSA*, DETAIL
The SCF Reference Manual for the Storage Subsystem provides reference details and examples for
using the SCF INFO and SCF STATUS commands.
When monitoring FCSAs using the OSM Service Connection, the states of the FCSAs should
indicate normal operation. Table 8-1 lists the possible states for the FCSA.
Table 8-1 Service, Flash Firmware, Flash Boot Firmware, Device, and Enabled States for the FCSA
DescriptionState
The resource is functioning normally and does not require
attention or service.
Service State: OK
The resource requires operator attention. This condition
sometimes generates an alarm, and the component that
requires attention is colored yellow in the tree pane and
in the Physical and ServerNet views of the view pane.
Service State: Attention Required
The resource requires service. This condition generates
an alarm, and the component that requires service is
colored red in the tree pane and in the Physical and
ServerNet views of the view pane
Service State: Service Required
