The following items are reported in the table above. All counts are hexadecimal:
• Phy – Each link is a PHY, numbered 0 through 23
• Port – DSK01 through DSK16 represent drive slots. Each slot has one PHY.
See page 30, Figure 6.
CN#1 refers to the SAS IN port and CN#2 refers to the SAS OUT port on the
I/O module. Each port has four PHYs. See page 25, Figure 4.
• InDW – Invalid D-word Count
• DsER – Disparity Error Count
• DwLo – Dword Sync Loss Count
• PhRe – PHY Reset Problem Count
• CoVi – Code Violation Count
• PhCh – PHY Change Count
If the count is zero, the counter shows dashes (------).
The fact that errors occur does not necessarily indicate a problem or that the
VessJBOD unit is malfunctioning.
An individual error count that increments regularly indicates a possible problem
and requires further investigation.
