Dynamic Counters for SAS/SATA Command Frames
Frame counters for commands are dynamic, meaning frame counters are added for different
command types. The primary counter for the type of frame is always counted and displayed, but
the specific command counters only appear if a frame with a specific SCSI command is
encountered in the decode. For each type of frame, a breakdown of the commands are counted in
the added dynamic counter(s) in a sub-level of the Traffic Summary hierarchy. The primary
counter is always the total of all dynamic counters that are within its branch in the hierarchy.
Dynamic counters are added for two types of frame counters, the SSP counter
Frames and the SATA counter
See Figure 156 for an example of dynamic command frame counters. In the example, the decode
encountered six different types of SSP command frames. No other SSP command frames events
were encountered in the decode. Therefore, these six types of SSP command frames are listed and
counted within
