Description:
The number of instances of signal loss detected at this port. This count is part of FC-PH's Link Error Status Block (LESB).
What is fcmPortLossofSignals?
This OID counts how many times the port lost its Fibre Channel signal, indicating a break in the connection. Operationally, a high count suggests physical problems like loose cables or failing transceivers that break the connection repeatedly. A storage network administrator uses this metric to spot intermittent fiber optic problems before they cause data loss.
