1203

Providing notification of configuration changes and loop failures.

Placing loop ports in the monitoring state.

Error Frames – The number of frames received with cyclic redundancy check
(CRC) errors.

Link Failures – The number of times the link has failed. A link failure can cause
a timeout.

Loss of Signal – The number of times the signal was lost.

Invalid Tx Words – The total number of invalid words transmitted by this
adapter port.

Ex Count Orig – The number of FC exchanges originating on this port.

Active XRIs – The number of active exchange resource indicators.

Received P_BSY – The number of FC port-busy link response frames received.

Link Transitions – The number of times the SLI port sent a link attention
condition.

Elastic Buf Overruns – The number of times the link interface has had its elastic
buffer overrun.

Rx Frames – The number of FC frames received by this adapter port.

Rx Words – The number of FC words received by this adapter port.

Rx KB Count – The received kilobyte count by this adapter port.

Rx Sequences – The number of FC sequences received by this adapter port.

NOS count – The number of NOS events that have occurred on the switched
fabric (not supported for an arbitrated loop).

Dumped Frames – The number of frames that were lost due to a lack of host
buffers available.

Loss of Sync – The number of times loss of synchronization has occurred.

Prim Seq Prot Errs – The primitive sequence protocol error count. This counter
is incremented whenever there is any type of protocol error.

Invalid CRCs – The number of frames received that contain CRC failures.

Ex Count Resp – The number of FC exchange responses made by this port.

Active RPIs – The number of remote port indicators.

Receive F_BSY – The number of FC port-busy link response frames received.

Primitive Seq Timeouts – The number of times a primitive sequence event timed
out.

Arbitration Timeouts – The number of times the arbitration loop has timed out.
Large counts could indicate a malfunction somewhere in the loop or heavy
usage of the loop.
Viewing FC Port Transceiver Information
The Transceiver Data tab enables you to view transceiver information such as vendor
name, serial number, part number and so on. If the adapter/transceiver does not
support some or all of the transceiver data, the fields display N/A.
