QDIO mode for the IBM z/VM operating system
This chapter covers the implementation steps to establish network connectivity with an IBM Open Systems Adapter-Express (OSA) channel path identifier (CHPID) in Queued Direct I/O (QDIO) mode.
Although the Open Systems Adapter Support Facility (OSA/SF) is not required because all definitions are set dynamically, you need to use the OSA/SF for monitoring and controlling the OSA port.
