What is cnt2esconFreeGlobalMem?

This INTEGER reports the amount of global, buffer, memory currently free on this ESCON adapter, in bytes. An administrator watches for this value approaching zero as a precursor to buffer-starvation-related I/O errors on that adapter. For example, cnt2esconFreeGlobalMem nearing zero during a period of heavy channel activity warns the admin that buffer exhaustion could soon disrupt ESCON transfers on that card.
