perfAddWriteMonitor

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

Synopsis perfaddwritemonitor [slotnumber/]portnumber [alias]

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

commands in Fibre Channel 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 also is displayed, if one was specified. All valid monitor numbers and user-defined aliases can

be retrieved with the perfShowFilterMonitor command.

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_Write”.

Examples To add an SCSI Write command monitor to a port:

switch:admin> perfaddwritemonitor 2/4 “SCSI_W”
