The RF (Reliability Factor) command displays the current reliability factor for peripheral units and paths. For Fibre Channels, fibre interface statistics are included following the RF display.

Explanation
RF <device type> <unit number list>
Displays the reliability factor of the devices in the unit number list.
RF CHANNEL <device number>
RF CHAN <device number>
Displays the reliability factor for a channel.
RF TAP <tap number> MT <unit number>
RF TAP <tap number> STORAGESYSTEM <unit number>
RF TAP <tap number> STOR <unit number>
Displays the reliability factor for a TAP.
TAPs are Fibre Channel ports on Fibre Channel disk units, tape units, and storage systems. RF TAP shows usage of the subject Fibre Channel port by the MCP system where the command is entered. RF TAP does not reflect the simultaneous use of the subject Fibre Channel port by other MCP systems or by non-MCP systems.
RF FC
Displays the reliability factor for all Fibre Channel channels.
RF TRANSCEIVER CHANNEL <fc channel number>
RF TRANSCEIVER CHAN <fc channel number>
RF TRANS CHANNEL <fc channel number>
RF TRANS CHAN <fc channel number>
Displays the transceiver data from the specified Fibre Channel channels.
RF TRANS FC
Displays the transceiver data from all Fibre Channel channels.
Examples
Example 1
This example displays the reliability factor for tape drive 144:
RF MT 144
MT 144 RELIABILITY FACTOR = 99%
Example 2
This example displays the reliability factor information for a specified channel. Note that additional fibre interface statistics are included following the line containing RF information.
RF CHAN 8051 CHAN 8051 TOTAL I/O=1400 ERROR=0 PERCENT=0% RF=100% SecondsSinceLastReset = Not Available TxFrames = 42,701 TxWords = 610,560 RxFrames = 158,486 RxWords = 45,131,776 LIPCount = 0 NOSCount = Not Available ErrorFrames = 0 DumpedFrames = Not Available LinkFailureCount = 0 LossOfSyncCount = 0 LossOfSignalCount = 0 PrimitiveSeqProtocolErrCount = 0 InvalidTxWordCount = 0 InvalidCRCCount = 0 PortState = Operational PortSpeed = 8 GBit/sec
Example 3
This example displays the reliability factor information for a designated TAP of a specified tape unit:
RF TAP 193 MT 84 TAP 193 MT 84 TOTAL I/O=0 ERROR=0 PERCENT=0% RF=100%
Example 4
This example displays the transceiver data for a specified Fibre Channel channel.
RF TRANS CHAN 20600 ----- CHANNEL 20600 ----- VendorName : AVAGO VendorOui : 00-17-6a VendorPN : AFBR-57D7APZ-ELX VendorRev : B VendorSN : AD1141A05VT DateCode : 111015 Identifier : 3h ExtIdentifier : 4h Connector : 7h Wavelength : 850 nm Temperature : 41.44 C Vcc : 3.30 V TxBiasCurrent : 7.22 mA TxPower : 0.56 mW RxPower : 0.19 mW
Considerations for Use
For MT units, you can clear the reliability factor percentage by using the RW (Rewind) command. Otherwise, use the UR (Unit Reserved) command. You can also clear the reliability factor percentage by Halt/loading the system. Clearing the RF percentage does not clear fibre interface statistics for a Channel. The cell containing the FC HBAs must be power-cycled to clear these statistics.
