White Papers


Abstract

This document is provided for the purpose of aiding IBM z/OS customers by providing a general set of considerations (a checklist) for guidance focused on configuring OSA-Express for optimizing network performance.

Content

This document does not replace the formal IBM publications, such as the IBM z/OS Communications Server IP Configuration Guide or IP Configuration Reference. The formal publications should be used for details about more guidance and “how to” information.
This document is intended to be a “living document” that could be updated and replaced as considerations change (i.e., new hardware, enhancements, features, performance-oriented field maintenance, and so on).
Version 1.2, adds the following new topics, published in August 2023:
  • OSA-Express Sharing Performance Considerations
  • OSA-Express7S Enhanced Inbound Blocking (EIB) Function
