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
