Virtual port statistics Use HCM and BCU to display logical port statistics for fabric discovery (FDISC) activity, logouts (LOGO) activity, NPIV support, number of fabrics online and offline, and fabric cleanups. Use these statistics to isolate NPIV login problems. Following are examples of what to check if virtual devices are not listed in the name server: • If FDISC sent and FDISC accept statistics do not match, the fabric or switch may not be ready for data transmission. This is normal as long as it does not persist. If it does persist, there may be a problem in the fabric or a protocol issue between the adapter and fabric. Note that in this case FDISC retries also increase. • Check the No NPIV support statistics to verify that NPIV is supported and enabled on the switch.
