Since I deal with Fibre Channel, I have to deal with new tools as well. Today for example we had some issues on a Linux Server with Fibre Channel HBA setup. In fiber optic network you are looking for Rx/Tx power metrics, which I also get from the SAN switches. But to detect issues it’s good to see the RX/TX power also from the host side. The Linux support inside the company told me, that they can’t find metrics inside the system. So I tried to get some more knowledge about that topic.
