Port Error Statistics

Overview

This function displays the total number of errors for CM expander and DE IOM ports.

An increasing number of error occurrences in the information is used to indicate early replacement of warning status components, and for analysis information when performance degradation occurs.

Note
  • Errors that occur in the SAS transmission line are detected in CM and recovered by retries. Note that detecting an error is not an immediate cause of data failure.

N/A

Invalid Dword

The number of Invalid Dword occurrences (0 to 4294967295) is displayed.

"Invalid Dword" indicates an error in the SAS transmission line. The SAS interface encodes 8-bit to 10-bit to improve the transmission error ratio. This error is detected when the SAS interface fails encoding.

Disparity Error

The number of Disparity Error occurrences (0 to 4294967295) is displayed.

"Disparity Error" indicates an error in the SAS transmission line. The SAS interface encodes 8-bit to 10-bit to improve the transmission error ratio. This error is detected when the SAS interface fails encoding.

Loss of Dword Synchronization

The number of Loss of Dword Synchronization occurrences (0 to 4294967295) is displayed.

"Loss of Dword Synchronization" indicates that the SAS interface failed encoding and the SAS link synchronization is broken.

Phy Reset Problem

The number of Phy Reset Problem occurrences (0 to 4294967295) is displayed.

"Phy Reset Problem" is detected when resetting and recovering the port in which an error occurred.
