282 IBM z13s Technical Guide
This data can then be forwarded to z/OS tools for easier problem determination and
resolution.
The Network Traffic Analyzer is supported by the OSA-Express5S and OSA-Express4S
features on z13s when in QDIO mode (CHPID type OSD). It is used by z/OS V1R12 and later.
7.3.71 Program-directed re-IPL
First available on System z9, program directed re-IPL allows an operating system on a z13s
to re-IPL without operator intervention. This function is supported for both SCSI and IBM
extended count key data (IBM ECKD™) devices. Table 7-52 lists the minimum support
requirements for program directed re-IPL.

7.3.72 Coupling over InfiniBand and Integrated Coupling Adapter
InfiniBand (IFB) and ICA using PCIe Gen3 technology can potentially provide high-speed
interconnection at short distances, longer distance fiber optic interconnection, and
interconnection between partitions on the same system without external cabling. For more
information, see 4.9, “Parallel Sysplex connectivity” on page 174.
Integrated Coupling Adapter
Support for PCIe Gen3 fanout (also known as Integrated Coupling Adapter Short Range (ICA
SR)) that supports a maximum distance of 150 meters (492 feet) is listed inTable 7-53.
