RELATED IDEAS

We need to monitor the InfiniBand activity by CHPID via RMF

We just implemented some CHPIDs , COUPLE Links 1x between 2 sides 16Km long , into Production System but we can NOT see the individual rates of each CHPID .

Via RMF III , SYSPLEX / CFSYS , we can see the Subchannel , Paths ,
Sync and Async requests to every connection between each LPAR and CF .
And we can select one of them and we see the CHPIDs and some very few infos, like latency and others , but NOT detailed infos about them .

The Redbook "Implementing and Managing InfiniBand Coupling Links on IBM System z (SG24-7539-03)", page 242 , "Appendix A. Resource Measurement Facility" , is stated :
" The RMF Subchannel Activity Report does not provide information at the individual CHPID level. Instead, information is provided for the set of CHPIDs that are used by the named system to communicate with the CF. As a result, you can only calculate average utilization across the set of CHPIDs. "

    We had flaged as "Urgent - Deployment/adoption cannot continue without this RFE" by a mistake, but we think the best priority flag would be "HIGH", sorry for this mistake.

    Creating a new RFE based on Community RFE #94477 in product z/OS.
