Error description

  • When retrieving the switch performance report "By Ports",
    tpctool cli does not show "slot" index information for
    switches,while GUI shows that information.
    
    RECREATE STEPS:
    TPC GUI:
    TPC GUI->Fabric Manager->Reporting->Switch Performance->By Port,
    on the right-hand side panel, the "Slot" option is available in
    the "Included Columns".
    
    CLI command:
    While running tpctool lscounters and lsmetrics commands to list
    what options will be provided in the switch performance reports,
    the "Slot" option is not available:
    
    tpctool lscounters  -ctype switch_port -url <tpc-server-ip>:9550
    -fabric <fabric WWN> -level hourly

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: TPC 4.1.1 and earlier users that use the     *
    *                 CLI to get performance data for Brocade      *
    *                 bladed switches.                             *

Problem conclusion

  • The format of the component column will be slot-port (slot
    number and port number separated by a dash) for switches with
    blades.  For switches without blades it will be simply the
    port number as before.  The fix for this APAR is targeted for
    the following maintenance package:

    The target dates for future fix packs do not represent a formal
    commitment by IBM. The dates are subject to change without
