Fibre Channel utilization reports (for devices that support FC)
Fibre Channel utilization reports allow you to view data about the Fibre Channel receive and transmit
rates. The reports will show data for up to 8 Fibre Channel ports, depending on how you have your
system configured (the reports will show data for as many as you have configured).
If you are running any backup or replication jobs (this does not include VTL over Fibre Channel), the
receive rate will be high, and if you are running any restore jobs, the transmit rate will be high.
