Entry

Description

 

 

BB_CreditRecoveryFrameFailure

Number of times more frames were lost during a credit recovery

 

period than the recovery process could resolve. This causes a Link

 

Reset to recover the credits.

 

 

BB_CreditRecoveryRRDYFailure

Number of times more R_RDYs were lost during a credit recovery

 

period than the recovery process could resolve. This causes a Link

 

Reset to recover the credits.

 

 

Class 2 Frames In

Number of class 2 frames received by this port.

 

 

Class 2 Frames Out

Number of class 2 frames transmitted by this port.

 

 

Class 2 Words In

Number of class 2 words received by this port.

 

 

Class 2 Words Out

Number of class 2 words transmitted by this port.

 

 

Class 3 Frames In

Number of class 3 frames received by this port.

 

 

Class 3 Frames Out

Number of class 3 frames transmitted by this port.

 

 

Class 3 Toss

Number of class 3 frames that were discarded by this port. A frame

 

can be discarded because of detection of a missing frame (based on

 

SEQ_CNT), detection of an E_D_TOV timeout, receiving a reject

 

frame, or receiving a frame on an offline port.

 

 

Class 3 Words In

Number of class 3 words received by this port.

 

 

Class 3 Words Out

Number of class 3 words transmitted by this port.

 

 

Decode Errors

Number of invalid transmission words detected during decoding.

 

Decoding is from the 10-bit characters and special K characters.

 

 

Ep Connects

Number of E_Port logins.

 

 

FBusy

Number of class 2 and class 3 fabric busy (F_BSY) frames generated

 

by this port in response to incoming frames. This usually indicates a

 

busy condition on the fabric or N_port that is preventing delivery of

 

this frame.

 

 

Flow Errors

Number of times a frame is received and all the switch ports receive

 

buffers are full. The normal Fabric Login exchange of flow control

 

credit should prevent this from occurring. The frame will be

 

discarded.

 

 

FReject

Number of frames, from devices, that have been rejected. Frames can

 

be rejected for any of a large number of reasons.

 

 

Invalid CRC

Number of invalid Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) frames detected.

 

 

Invalid Destination Address

Number of address identifier (S_ID, D_ID) errors. AL_PA equals

 

non-zero AL_PA found on F_Port.

 

 

Link Failures

Number of optical link failures detected by this port. A link failure is

 

a loss of synchronization or by loss of signal while not in the offline

 

state. A loss of signal causes the switch to attempt to re-establish the

 

link. If the link is not re-established, a link failure is counted. A link

 

reset is performed after a link failure.

 

 

LIP (AL_PD,AL_PS)

Number of F7, AL_PS LIPs, or AL_PD (vendor specific) resets,

 

performed.

 

 

LIP(f7,AL_PS)

This LIP is used to reinitialize the loop. An L_port, identified by AL_PS,

 

may have noticed a performance degradation and is trying to restore

 

the loop.
