perfAddSCSIMonitor
Adds a filter-based performance monitor for SCSI frame count.
Synopsis perfaddscsimonitor [slotnumber/]portnumber [alias]
Description Use this command to define filter-based monitors to count the number of SCSI traffic frames. Only
frames transmitted are counted.
After a successful execution of this command, a monitor number is displayed. The monitor number is
provided for manipulation of these filter-based performance monitors. The optional user-defined alias is
also displayed, if one was specified. All valid monitor numbers and user-defined aliases can be retrieved
with the perfShowFilterMonitor command.
The maximum number of filters is eight per port, including user-defined filters, read filters, write filters,
read/write filters, SCSI frame monitor, and IP frame monitor.
