Port Statistics Field Definitions
• Tx Frames - FC frames transmitted by this HBA port.
• Tx Words - FC words transmitted by this HBA port.
• Tx KB Count - FC kilobytes transmitted by this HBA port.
• Tx Sequences - FC sequences transmitted by this HBA port.
• LIP count - The number of loop initialization primitive (LIP) events that have occurred for the
port. This field is not supported if the topology is not arbitrated loop. Loop initialization consists
of the following:
• Temporarily suspend loop operations.
• Determine whether loop capable ports are connected to the loop.
• Assign AL_PA IDs.
• Provide notification of configuration changes and loop failures.
• Place loop ports in the monitoring state.
• Error Frames - The number of frames received with cyclic redundancy check (CRC) errors.
• Link Failures - The number of times the link failed. A link failure is a possible cause of a timeout.
• Loss of Signal - The number of times the signal was lost.
• Invalid Tx Words - The total number of invalid words transmitted by this HBA port.
• Ex Count Orig - The number of FC exchanges originating on this port.
• Active XRIs - The number of active exchange resource indicators.
• Received P_BSY - The number of FC port-busy link response frames received.
