perfShowAlpaCrc
Displays the CRC error count by port or by arbitrated loop physical address (AL_PA).
SYNOPSIS
perfshowalpacrc [slot/]port [ALPA]
DESCRIPTION
Use this command to display the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error count of one or all devices 
attached to a port. If the AL_PA operand is specified, only the CRC count for that AL_PA device is 
displayed. If the AL_PA operand is not specified, the CRC count for all the AL_PA devices on a specified 
port are displayed.
CRC count is a 64-bit counter. The CRC count value is displayed in hexadecimal.
NOTES
This command requires an Advanced Performance Monitoring license.
This command is not supported on virtual FC ports (VE/VEX_Port), EX_Port, M (Mirror) ports and GbE 
ports.
The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in 
place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for

OPERANDS
This command has the following operands:
slot
For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port to be displayed, 
followed by a slash (/). 
port
Specifies the number of the port to be displayed, relative to its slot for bladed 
systems. Use switchShow for a list of valid ports.
ALPA
Specify the AL_PA address to get the CRC errors for a specific device. This 
operand is optional; if the operand is omitted, this command displays CRC error 
counts for all devices attached to the specified port.
EXAMPLES
To display the CRC error count for all AL_PA devices on a port:
switch:admin> perfshowalpacrc 2/4
