  • The high utilization isn't a fabric fault and there is nothing much we can help with regards to high utilization as it is not a fixable fault
  • It is a design and/or usage issue which means that due to traffic conditions (load demand), the current utilization is exceeding the available bandwidth
  • Switch serves the incoming requests coming from the end device connected to the port. So, if any point of time the requested workload is more and the tx on the switch port is getting utilized more than 95%, that is when the rule defALL_HOST_PORTSTX_95 are generated
  • High response time observed on storage devices due to buffer credits
