Step 1 In Fabric Manager, select Fabric > VSANxxx > Fabric Binding and click the Statistics tab.
You see the statistics in the Information pane.
Step 2 Check the Clear check box for the VSAN(s) for which you want to clear statistics.

Displaying RLIR Information
The Registered Link Incident Report (RLIR) application provides a method for a switchport to send an
LIR to a registered Nx-port. It is a highly-available application.
When a Link Incident Record (LIR) is detected in FICON-enabled switches in the Cisco MDS 9000
Family from a RLIR Extended Link Service (ELS). it sends that record to the members in it’s Established
Registration List (ERL).
In case of multi-switch topology, a Distribute Registered Link Incident Record (DRLIR) Inter Link
Service (ILS) is sent to all reachable remote domains along with the RLIR ELS. On receiving the DRLIR
ILS, the switch extracts the RLIR ELS and sends to the members of the ERL.
The Nx-ports interested in receiving the RLIR ELS send Link Incident Record Registration (LIRR) ELS
request to the management server on the switch. The RLIRs are processed on a per-VSAN basis.
To view RLR information using Device Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 Choose FICON > RLIR ERL.... You see the Show RLIR ERL dialog box.
Step 2 Click Close to close the dialog box.
Calculating FICON Flow Load Balance
The FICON Flow Load Balance Calculator allows you to get the best load balancing configuration for
your FICON flows. The calculator does not rely on any switch or flow discovery in the fabric. It is
available from the Fabric Manager Tools menu.
