perfAddReadMonitor

Adds a filter-based performance monitor for the SCSI Read command.

Synopsis perfaddreadmonitor [slotnumber/]portnumber [alias]

Description Use this command to define filter-based monitors to count the number of SCSI FCP Read

commands in Fibre Channel frames. Only frames transmitted are counted.

After 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.

This command requires a Brocade Advanced Performance Monitoring license.

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

GbE ports.

The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place.

Operands This command has the following operands:

slotnumber For bladed systems only, this operand 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 Specify a name for this monitor. This string truncates to a maximum of 10

characters. It might be surrounded by quotation marks, in order to include

spaces. This operand is optional. The default alias is “SCSI Read”.

Examples To add an SCSI read monitor to a port:

switch:admin> perfaddreadmonitor 2/4 “SCSI_R”

SCSI Read filter monitor #2 added
