GESA (Gigabyte Ethernet ServerNet Adapter)
An adapter that connects the ServerNet connections inside a server to an Ethernet local area network (LAN). The
Gigabit Ethernet ServerNet adapter is similar to the Fast Ethernet ServerNet adapter but offers enhanced performance.
The Gigabit Ethernet ServerNet Adapter (GESA) CRU contains one Gigabit Ethernet ServerNet addressable controller
(
), which contains one Ethernet physical interface (
), resulting in one Ethernet port on each GESA CRU.
Location in OSM Tree: System > Group > Module > GESA
Slot Location: GESA CRUs can be located in slots 53 and 54 in PMF enclosures (service side) or in slots 51, 52, 53,
and 54 in IOMF or IOMF2 enclosures (service side).
Example: GESA $ZZLAN.GESA0 (1.1.53)
Attributes
GESA
Displayed in the Attributes tab and Attributes dialog box only if the value is something
other than OK.
Service State
Physical
A code that identifies the generation of the component. Hardware revision codes are
used for tracking components.
Hardware Revision
Identifies the manufacturer of the component.
Manufacturer
The part number of the component that was assigned in manufacturing. Use part
numbers for identifying and ordering parts.
Part Number
Whether the component is powered on.
Power State
A unique serial number that identifies the component. Track IDs are used for tracking
components.
Track ID
Logical
The configuration type of this resource.
Values: CCSA, E4SA, FESA, G4SA, GESA, TRSA, Unknown
Configured Type
The state of the component as known to the operating system on the server.
Device State
Actions
Abort
Terminates operation of the Gigabyte Ethernet ServerNet adapter (GESA) and the associated Ethernet ServerNet
addressable controller (SAC). When the Abort action finishes, the GESA and the SAC are in the Stopped state.
Start
Starts the Gigabyte Ethernet ServerNet adapter (GESA) and the associated Ethernet ServerNet addressable controller
(SAC). The GESA and the SAC must be in the Stopped state before you perform this action.
During startup, the controller operational code is automatically loaded into the SAC. When the Start action completes,
both the GESA and the SAC are in the Started state.
Stop
Rather than automatically stopping the GESA (as the Abort action does), this action first warns you if the GESA is
currently in use (and stops it only after you confirm).
