Set Up OSA/SF Support

If you run OSA/SF on the system, your product region can use it to monitor the OSAs. To enable OSA/SF functionality, the OSA/SF load library must be available to your product region.

The OSA/SF API task is used to:

• Monitor OSA performance
• Obtain configuration information for OSA resources

To set up OSA/SF support

1. Examine the z/OS link list for SYS1.SIOALMOD. If SYS1.SIOALMOD is not in the link list, add it to the STEPLIB DD statement in the product region started task member dsnpref.NMC1.rname.JCL(rname). For example:

   //STEPLIB DD DSN=dsnpref.NMC1.CC2DLOAD,DISP=SHR
   //        DD DSN=dsnpref.NMC1.CC2DPLD,DISP=SHR
   //        DD DSN=SYS1.SIOALMOD,DISP=SHR
   

2. Ensure that the following are in the same LPAR:
   • The TCP/IP stack with the primary OSA device definition
   • OSA/SF
   • Your product region

For more information about defining resources to monitor OSAs, see the Administration Guide.
