Definitions of FC_AL Primitives
A count of the number of Loop Initialization
Primitives (F7,x) that have been detected on the
loop since the interconnect devices were last reset.
A LIP(F7,x) is an FC_AL primitive sequence that a
device transmits when it is requesting loop
initialization.
A count of the number of Loop Initialization
Primitives (F8,x) that have been detected on the
loop since the interconnect devices were last reset.
A LIP(F8,x) is an FC_AL primitive sequence that a
device transmits when it is requesting loop
initialization. A LIP(F8,,x) differs from a LIP(F7,x)
that the LIP(F8,x) is sent by a device that has
detected a failure on the loop.
A count of the number of selective reset primitives
LIP(y,x) that have been detected on the loop, since
the interconnect devices were last reset. A
selective reset primitive is used to request a loop
initialization and to request that the "y" (or
destination device) perform a vendor-specific
reset.
A count of the number of Fibre Channel Closes
(CLS) that have been detected on the loop, since
the interconnect devices were last reset. A Close is
sent by a device to terminate a loop circuit.
A count of the number of Loop Port Bypass (y,x)
Primitives that have been detected on the loop
since the interconnect devices were last reset. A
Loop Port Bypass is sent from a device to force
another device's Loop Port State Machine to
bypass itself.
