Physical network ID configuration issues

The TCP/IP stack must be able to determine which physical network is connected to a particular IBM® 10 GbE RoCE Express® Start of changeor internal shared memory (ISM) End of changeinterface, so that the 10 GbE RoCE Express Start of changeor ISM End of changeinterface can be associated with the Start of changeSMCEnd of change capable interfaces that connect to that same physical network.

In the HCD definitions, the same PNetID values have different meaning for different types of devices.

Use the Netstat DEvlinks/-d and D NET,TRL,TRLE=xxxx commands to verify the physical network ID (PNetID) value on the OSD interfaces and the 10 GbE RoCE Express interfaces.
  • If the Netstat DEvlinks/-d report for your OSD interface indicates SMCR: DISABLED (NO PNETID), ensure that you configured the PNetID value on the correct OSD port in the HCD definitions.
  • If you receive message EZD2028I with reason PNETID IS NOT CONFIGURED during 10 GbE RoCE Express interface activation, ensure that you configured the PNetID value on the correct 10 GbE RoCE Express port in the HCD definitions.
  • If the Netstat DEvlinks/-d report for your OSD interface indicates SMCR: Yes and your 10 GbE RoCE Express interfaces initialized successfully, verify that the PNetID value of the OSD interface matches that of the intended 10 GbE RoCE Express interfaces.

Use the Netstat DEvlinks/-d and D NET,TRL,TRLE=xxxx commands to verify the physical network ID (PNetID) value on the OSD or HiperSockets interfaces and the ISM interfaces.

  • If the Netstat DEvlinks/-d report for your OSD or HiperSockets interface indicates SMCD: DISABLED (NO PNETID), ensure that you configured the PNetID value on the correct OSD port or HiperSockets CHPID in the HCD definitions.
  • During ISM interface activation, if you receive message EZD2028I with reason PNETID IS NOT CONFIGURED or message IST2422I, ensure that you configured the PNetID value on the correct ISM device in the HCD definitions.
  • During ISM interface activation, if you receive message IST2423I, ensure that you have configured sufficient Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) function ID (PFID) values for the PNetID value in the HCD definitions.
  • If the Netstat DEvlinks/-d report for your OSD or HiperSockets interface indicates SMCD: Yes and your ISM interfaces initialized successfully, verify that the PNetID value of the OSD or HiperSockets interface matches the PNetID of the intended ISM interfaces.
