PowerVault™ 50F Commands: Dell™ PowerVault™ 50F 8-Port Fibre Channel Switch Installation and Troubleshooting Guide

Ols_in
Offline resent in (primitive sequence). Does not apply to FL_Port.
Ols_out
Offline resent in (primitive sequence). Does not apply to FL_Port.
Frjt
Number of frames rejected.
Fbsy
Number of frames busy.
portStatsShow
The portStatsShow command, when used with a port number, gives a static view of port status when the
switch executed the command. For example, to update the command and check if an error count is
increasing, reissue the portStatsShow command to capture another snapshot.
The command syntax is portStatsShow <port#>. The fields are described in Table 7-7.
Table 7-7. portStatsShow Command Field Descriptions
Field Description
stat_wtx
Number of 4-byte words transmitted from the port.
stat_wrx
Number of 4-byte words received by the port.
stat_ftx
Number of frames transmitted from the port.
stat_frx
Number of frames received by the port.
stat_c2_frx
Number of Class 2 frames received.
stat_c3_frx
Number of Class 3 frames received.
stat_lc_rx
Number of link control frames received.
stat_mc_rx
Number of multicast frames received.
stat_mc_to
Number of timeouts reported for multicast frames. A single frame could cause this counter to increment if it timed
out for each multiple destination.
stat_mc_tx
Number of multicast frames transmitted.
tim_rdy_pri
The amount of time (measured in proprietary ticks) that R_RDY transmission has higher priority than frame
transmission.
tim_txcrd_z
Time that this port cannot transmit frames due to a transmit buffer-to-buffer credit of zero.
er_enc_in
Received data: the number of 8b/10b encoding errors that have occurred inside frame boundaries. This counter is
generally a nonzero value, although occasional errors may occur on a normal link and give a zero result.
(Minimum compliance with the link bit error rate specification on a link continuously receiving frames would cause
approximately one error every 20 minutes.)
er_crc
Received frames: the number of CRC errors detected.
er_trunc
Received frames: the number of frames that were shorter than the minimum Fibre Channel frame size (i.e., a
header with no payload).
er_toolong
Received frames: the number of frames that were longer than the maximum Fibre Channel frame size (i.e., a
header with a 2,112-byte payload).
er_bad_eof
The number of frames received with a badly formed end-of-frame.
er_enc_out
Receive link: the number of 8b/10b encoding errors recorded outside frame boundaries. This number may become
nonzero during link initialization but indicates a problem if it increments faster than the allowed link-bit error rate
(approximately once every 20 minutes).
er_disc_c3
Receive link: the number of Class 3 frames discarded. Class 3 frames can be discarded due to timeouts or
invalid/unreachable destinations. This quantity could increment at times during normal operation but might be
used for diagnosing problems in some situations.
