Protocol: Fibre Channel Bytes
This statistic shows Fibre Channel bytes/second requested by initiators to Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance.
Example
See Protocol: iSCSI Bytes for an example of a similar statistic with similar breakdowns.
When to Check Fibre Channel Bytes
Fibre Channel bytes/sec can be used as an indication of FC load, in terms of throughput. For a deeper analysis of FC activity, see Protocol: Fibre Channel Operations.
