Fibre Channel Link Error Status Report

The virtualization engine’s host-side and device-side interfaces provide statistical data for the counts listed in TABLE 7-4.

TABLE 7-4Virtualization Engine Statistical Data

Count Type	Description
Link Failure Count	The number of times the virtualization engine’s frame manager
	detects a non-operational state or other failure of N_Port
	initialization protocol.
Loss of	The number of times that the virtualization engine detects a loss in
Synchronization	synchronization.
Count
Loss of Signal Count	The number of times that the virtualization engine’s frame manager
	detects a loss of signal.
Primitive Sequence	The number of times that the virtualization engine’s frame manager
Protocol Error	detects N_Port protocol errors.
Invalid Transmission	The number of times that the virtualization engine’s 8b/10b
Word	decoder does not detect a valid 10-bit code.
Invalid CRC Count	The number of times that the virtualization engine receives frames
	with a bad CRC and a valid EOF. A valid EOF includes EOFn, EOFt,
	or EOFdti.
