When to Use This Section
Use this section for monitoring and recovery information for the Fibre Channel
ServerNet adapters (FCSAs).
Overview of the FCSA
The FCSA provides Fibre Channel connectivity to certain external devices such as disk
drives contained in an Enterprise Storage System (ESS). Up to 10 FCSAs are housed
in an I/O adapter module (IOAM), which is mounted in an IOAM enclosure. The form
factor and connection technology of IOAM enclosures differ from the standard I/O
enclosures that provide direct ServerNet access to external I/O devices.
A pair of ServerNet switch boards, also located in the IOAM enclosure, provide
connectivity between the processors and the FCSAs. All IOAM hardware can be
monitored by OSM, but not TSM.
For information about the disk drives or tape drives supported through FCSAs for your
G-series RVU, refer to the G06.nn Release Version Update.
Monitoring the FCSAs
Use the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) or the OSM Service Connection to monitor
the FCSAs.
To monitor the FCSAs using OSM, refer to Using OSM or TSM 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:
