The following fields are extracted from the FC-PH defined Link Error Status
Block, LESB:
• Link Failure Count - Count of the number of Loss of Sync conditions that
have occurred on the port which exceeded 100 mS in duration.
• Loss of Sync Count - Count of the number of short (< 100 mS) Loss of
Synchronization conditions that have occurred on the port.
• Loss of Signal Count - Count of the number of Loss of Signal conditions on
the port.
• Primitive Sequence Protocol Error - Count of the number of FC-PH defined
Primitive Sequence Protocol Errors on the port. This field is not valid in loop
mode.
• Invalid Transmission Word Count - Count of the number of invalid
transmission words/Running Disparity errors that have been detected on the
port.
• Invalid CRC Count - Count of the number of write data frames that have been
received with invalid CRC's on the port. These errors are only detected when
this drive is the target of the data transfer.
The following fields are unique to loop mode:
LIP F7 Initiated Count - Count of the number of loop initialization processes
originated by the port with LIP -F7's (Initialize LIP).
LIP F7 Received Count - Count of the number of loop initialization processes
initiated on the port by receiving LIP-F7's (Initialize LIP).
LIP F8 Initiated Count - Count of the number of loop initialization processes
originated by the port with LIP -F8's (Failure LIP).
LIP F8 Received Count - Count of the number of loop initialization processes
initiated on the port by receiving LIP-F8's (Failure LIP).
