Synopsis perfaddscsimonitor [slotnumber/]portnumber [alias]

Description Use this command to create a filter-based monitor that counts the number of SCSI traffic frames.

Only frames transmitted are counted.

Execution of this command displays a numeric key that uniquely identifies the monitor. Use the

perfMonitorShow command for a listing of valid keys and user-defined aliases.

This command is not supported on virtual FC ports (VE/VEX_Port), EX_Port, M (Mirror) ports and

GbE ports.

slotnumber For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port on which the

monitor is to be added, followed by a slash (/).

portnumber Specifies the number of the port on which the monitor is to be added, relative

to its slot for bladed systems. Use switchShow for a list of valid ports.

alias Specifies a name for this monitor. Strings exceeding 10 characters are

truncated. To accommodate spaces, the string must be surrounded by

quotation marks. Spaces count toward the character limit but are removed.

This operand is optional. The default alias is “SCSI Frame”.

switch:admin> perfaddscsimonitor 2/4 “SCSI FR”
