flow control metrics on x1140a?

Hello,

I'm comparing the ifstat-a -v output between an F2240 w/an x1160a adapter and a V3240 w/an x1140a adapter. I want to see ethernet flow control metrics. In particular, the Xon, Xoff and/or PAUSE metrics for both transmit and receive for our 10g interfaces. Flow control is set to full on both the 2240/1160a and the 3240/1140a.

The F2240/x1160a shows Xon and Xoff metrics for both transmit and receive with the ifstat -a -v output. However, the V3240 w/th x1140a adapter does NOT display any flow control metrics (Xon, Xoff or PAUSE) with the ifstat -a -v output. Does anybody know why this may be? I'd like to determine if our V3240/x1140a is receiving PAUSE frames from the switch.

We're running ONTAP 7M 8.1.4P2 on both the 2240 and 3240.

Thanks,

MRJG
