ALR0695E The Invalid Link Transmission Rate of port port_name in device device_name was found to be measured_value, which violated the defined critical-idle boundary value of boundary_value.

Explanation

Invalid Link Transmission Rate measures the average number of invalid transmission words that were detected by the port, per second, in the absence of any synchronization or signal loss on the link. This is the rate of invalid transmission words during time intervals when the link is otherwise up and operating normally. Transmission words are primitive elements used by the fibre channel protocol for transmission of data. A frame consists of between 10 and 537 transmission words. A threshold is defined on this metric, which can be used to compare the value of Invalid Link Transmission Rate with the defined boundaries for each set of performance statistics collected from the storage system or switch.

A threshold boundary violation occurred. The specified storage system or switch port has an Invalid Link Transmission Rate value that is less than or equal to the critical-idle boundary defined for the related threshold.
