7.3.45 OSA-Express4S Gigabit Ethernet LX and SX
The OSA-Express4S Gigabit Ethernet feature is installed exclusively in the PCIe I/O drawer.
Each feature has one PCIe adapter and two ports. The two ports share a channel path
identifier (CHPID type OSD exclusively). Each port supports attachment to a 1 Gbps Ethernet
LAN. The ports can be defined as a spanned channel, and can be shared among LPARs and
across logical channel subsystems.
Operating system support is required to recognize and use the second port on the
OSA-Express4S Gigabit Ethernet feature. Table 7-42 lists the minimum support requirements
for OSA-Express4S Gigabit Ethernet LX and SX.
