HELP: GROUP/VF CATEGORY STATS SCREEN
Category Stats for a port group/VF are divided into up to two subgroups -
Internal or External - based on whether a port's neighbor port is in its group
(Internal) or not (External).  In the All group all ports are Internal. For
example in the HFIs group all ports are External. In the SWs group ports may be
Internal or External.  The six categories are based on mapping each port
counter into one of the categories as follows. The integrity and congestion
counter values are calculated by using a weighted sum. The weights for each
and the threshold value for each category can be seen in the PM Config screen.
Some counters are gathered from the neighbor's port instead.

 Integrity:
  Local Link Integrity Errors
  Port Receive Errors
  Excessive Buffer Overrun Errors (neighbor port)
  Link Error Recovery
  Link Downed
  Uncorrectable Errors
  FM Config Errors

 Congestion:
  Port Transmit Wait
  Switch Port Congestion
  Port Receive FECN (neighbor port)
  Port Receive BECN (only from FIs)
  Port Transmit Time Congestion
  Port Mark FECN

 SmaCongestion:
  The counters included in the SMA Congestion category are the VL 15 counters
  equivalent to the port counters in the Congestion category.

 Bubble:
  Port Transmit Wasted Bandwidth
  Port Transmit Wait Data
  Port Receive Bubble (neighbor port)

 Security:
  Port Receive Constraint Errors (neighbor port)
  Port Transmit Constraint Errors

 Routing:
  Port Receive Switch Relay Errors

For each subgroup within a category, there are five histogram buckets. Each
bucket has a width of 25%(0+%, 25+%, etc) and the last bucket for over the
threshold(100+%). A bucket is used to measure the number of ports whose category
value when compared to the threshold falls within the range of the bucket. This
provides an indication of how counter rates compare to their thresholds.

The Ctg Stats screen accepts input commands which specify parameters to be
used in a group focus query, which will provide a list of ports sorted
according to a specified category criterion. The second line of the Ctg Stats
screen displays the group name, and the currently selected focus criterion
and number of ports for a group focus query.  The 'D' command causes the group
focus query to be performed and displayed in a Group Focus screen.  The
following input commands are accepted in the Ctg Stats screen.

  C: Select group focus criterion forward (c*) or reverse (C*):
     Integrity category (highest first)
     Congestion category (highest first)
     SmaCongestion category (highest first)
     Bubble category (highest first)
     Security category (highest first)
     Routing category (highest first)
  Nn: Number of entries n in group focus list
  D:  Display detail group focus list
