When troubleshooting SAN performance problems what would be a key indicator of a physical issue?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

When troubleshooting SAN performance problems, a key indicator of a physical issue is a high CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) error count. CRC errors are indicative of corrupt data packets during transmission, which often points to issues such as faulty cables, bad ports, or other physical problems in the network infrastructure. High CRC error counts can lead to retransmissions, reduced throughput, and overall degradation of SAN performance. Addressing the physical components associated with high CRC error counts is essential for restoring optimal SAN operations.


While the specific Dell XtremIO Design document was not available, general SAN troubleshooting guidelines and best practices indicate that CRC errors are a critical metric to monitor for physical connectivity issues1.

Additional resources on SAN performance troubleshooting can be found in the support documentation for the XtremIO Family on Dell's official website2.

High Class 3 Discards? Sounds like the SAN is trying to play hard to get.

I think both high CRC error count and high Class 3 Discards could point to a physical issue.

I believe high Class 3 Discards could also be a key indicator of a physical issue.

I agree with Arlette, high CRC error count could indicate a physical issue.
