APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Adapters using the lncentdd driver can experience delays
    in network traffic when nmon and/or entstat/netstat is
    run.
    
    This delay can occur even if the nmon is restricted to
    adapters in use by an interface.
    

Local fix

  • Disable the nmon/topas or netstat/entstat on adapters
    using the lncentdd driver.
    .
    To determine if an adapter uses this driver:
    
    # lsdev -Cl ent0
    ent0 Available 02-00 PCIe2 10GbE SFP+ SR 4-port Converged
    Network Adapter (df1020e214100f04)
    
    # lsdev -Cl ent0 -F  DvDr
    pci/lncentdd
    

Problem summary

  • Delays in network traffic may be observed when nmom/entstat
    is run on ENOH adapter.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Code changed to reduce the delay interval used for polling
    the mailbox ready bit.
