Clearing Monitor Counters - HP A7533A - Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch Base Administrator's Manual

Clearing monitor counters

Before you clear statistics counters, verify the valid monitor numbers on a specific port using the
perfMonitorShow command, to make sure the correct monitor counters are cleared. To clear statistics
counters for all or a specified monitor, use the perfMonitorClear command. After the command has
been executed, the telnet shell confirms that the counters on the monitor have been cleared.
The command format is:
perfmonitorclear --class monitor_class [slotnumber/]portnumber [monitorId]
monitor_class
slotnumber
portnumber
monitorId
NOTE: In Fabric OS v3.1.0 and v4.1.0 (or later) the portStatsClear command clears AL_PA- based
CRC error counters for all the ports in the same group.
To clear statistics counters for an end-to-end monitor
switch:admin> perfMonitorClear --class EE 1/2 5
End-to-End monitor number 5 counters are cleared
switch:admin> perfMonitorClear --class EE 1/2
This will clear ALL EE monitors' counters on port 2, continue?
(yes, y, no, n): [no] y
To clear statistics counters for a filter-based monitor
switch:admin> perfMonitorClear --class FLT 1/2 4
Filter-based monitor number 4 counters are cleared
switch:admin> perfMonitorClear --class FLT 1/2
This will clear ALL filter-based monitors' counters on port 2, continue? (yes, y, no,
y): [no] y
To clear statistics counters for an ISL monitor
switch:admin> perfMonitorClear --class ISL 1
This will clear ISL monitor on port 1, continue? (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
The monitor class, which can be one of EE (end-to-end), FLT (filter-based), or ISL
(inter-switch link). The --class monitor_class operand is required.
Specifies the slot number for a SAN Director 2/128 or 4/256 SAN Director.
For all other switches, this operand is not required. The slot number must be
followed by a slash ( / ) and the port number, so that each port is represented
by both slot number (1 through 4 or 7 through 10) and port number (0 through
15).
The Director has a total of 10 slots. Slot numbers 5 and 6 are control processor
blades; slots 1 through 4 and 7 through 10 are port blades. For 16-port
blades, there are 16 ports, counted from the bottom, numbered 0 to 15. For
32-port blades, there are 32 ports numbered 0 to 31.
Specifies a port number. Valid values for port number vary, depending on the
switch type. This operand is required.
Specifies the monitor number to clear. Monitor numbers are defined when you
create the monitor on a port. This operand is optional. If not specified, all
monitor counters on the port are cleared. This operand does not apply to ISL
monitors.
