instead of 10 GbE. OSD connections can flow through the same 10 GbE switches or different
switches.
An OSA-Express feature, defined as channel-path identifier (CHPID) type OSD, is required to
establish SMC-R. Figure D-6 shows the interaction of OSD and the RNIC. The Open System
Adapter (OSA) feature might be a single or pair of 10 GbE, 1 GbE, or 1000Base-T OSAs. The
OSA needs to be connected to another OSA on the system with which the RoCE feature is
communicating. In Figure D-5, 1 GbE OSD connections can still be used instead of 10 GbE
and OSD connections can flow through the same 10 GbE switches.
Figure D-6 RNIC and OSD interaction
The following notes refer to Figure D-6:
򐂰 The z/OS system administrator only must configure and manage the OSD interface.
򐂰 The Communications Server transparently splits and converges network traffic to and from
the converged interface.
򐂰 Only OSD connectivity must be configured.
With SMC-R, the RNIC interface is dynamically and transparently added and configured.
Note: The OSA-Express Adapter and the RoCE Express feature must be associated to
each other by having equal PNET IDs (defined in HCD). Simultaneous use of both 10 GbE
ports on a 10GbE RoCE Express feature and sharing by up to 31 LPARs on the same CPC
is available on z13 and z13s servers.
