Diagnostics 73 Loop Error Histogram Display The Loop Error Histogram indicates errors detected on the FC-AL when a Fibre Channel Host Controller is highlighted. Each bar represents a 3 second period of activity. The histogram scrolls from right to left. The figure below shows a single error period. Notice that FC-AL errors do not update the histogram unless a Fibre Channel Host Controller is highlighted. This occurs because the server's only view of the FC-AL is through the Fibre Channel Host Controller, yielding no real indication of where the source of errors may be. When errors are displayed, individual components may be disconnected from the FC-AL to determine the failing cable, GBIC, or component. The flow charts in the Troubleshooting Guide help you through this process. Figure 6-16. The Loop Error Histogram, showing a single 3 second error interval Selecting the server causes the sum of all errors on all FC-ALs to be displayed. Selecting a different Fibre Channel Host Controller will display the errors associated with that FC-AL.

Loop Error Histogram Display
The Loop Error Histogram indicates errors detected on the FC-AL when a
Fibre Channel Host Controller is highlighted. Each bar represents a 3 second
period of activity. The histogram scrolls from right to left. The figure below
shows a single error period. Notice that FC-AL errors do not update the
histogram unless a Fibre Channel Host Controller is highlighted. This occurs
because the server's only view of the FC-AL is through the Fibre Channel Host
Controller, yielding no real indication of where the source of errors may be.
When errors are displayed, individual components may be disconnected from
the FC-AL to determine the failing cable, GBIC, or component. The flow
charts in the Troubleshooting Guide help you through this process.
