FC Port resources
F-port resources display as children of the Switch resource. F-port metrics are resource attributes
for the F-port resource. E-ports on the switch display as a metric group or resource group on the
Switch resource. E-port metrics are a metric group or resource group on the Switch resource and
each entry in this metric or resource group is the E-port WWN with the same set of port metrics.
The Brocade SAN Analytics Management Pack for VMware vCenter Operations Management Suite
collects the port WWN for a port resource. The port WWN is the resource key identifier for a port
resource.
Port metrics
For Brocade Network Advisor instances running 12.1.3 or earlier, the Brocade SAN Analytics
Management Pack for VMware vCenter Operations Management Suite collects the following
metrics for port resources:
• C3 Discards — The total number of class 3 frames that were discarded upon reception from the
point of time the counter was reset.
• CRC Errors — The number of frames received in which the CRC in a frame does not match the
CRC computed by the receiver. This count is part of the Link Error Status Block (LESB).
• Encoding Errors — The total number of disparity errors received at this port from the point of
time the counter was reset.
• Link Failures — The number of times a link error occurred. This count is part of the Link Error
Status Block (LESB).
• Rx % Utilization — The percentage of data received to the maximum amount of data that can be
received
• Rx (MB/sec) — The total number of megabytes received from the point of time the counter was
reset.
• Tx % Utilization — The percentage of data transmitted to the maximum amount of data that can
be transmitted.
• Tx (MB/sec) — The total number of megabytes transmitted from the point of time the counter
was reset.
For Brocade Network Advisor instances running 12.1.4 or later, the Brocade SAN Analytics
Management Pack for VMware vCenter Operations Management Suite collects the following
additional metrics for port resources:
• BB Credit Zero — The total number of transitions in or out of BBcredit zero state. The other side
is not providing any credit.
• C3 Discard Others — The total number of Class 3 frames discarded due to unknown reasons
upon reception from the point of time the counter was reset.
• C3 Discard Rx Timeout — The number of Class 3 receive frames discarded due to timeout upon
reception from the point of time the counter was reset.
• C3 Discard Tx Timeout — The number of Class 3 transmit frames discarded due to timeout
upon reception from the point of time the counter was reset.
• C3 Discard Unreachable — The number of Class 3 frames discarded due to destination
unreachable upon reception from the point of time the counter was reset.
