Fault in FC-HBA Configuration?

[Mario Pulsfort]

Here is the output for a qlogic FC2214 FC-HBA running with SLES9-x86_64:


/proc/scsi/qla2xxx/0

Whats the meaning of the "Commands retried with dropped frame(s) = 160" entry?
Is this a fault or just informational?

Have you solved your question?
(I like to know your solution...)
Many thanks in advance.

Do you have a real problem rather than what you see here?

I suggest to check the SAN switch logs?
