SFP RX values on FC ports on SVC

one "response" during the 65148,662,706
was that RX values were low in SFP's on the SVC node. and yet no errors seen anywhere in SAN switch, eventlog, or TPC for errors on SVC port.

indeed was advised this should be corrected before any firmware upgrade.

This subsequently came a major talking point / cause in the "RCA"

Only way to know RX values is for SVC dump to be sent to Support.

NO errors were seen in TPC/Spectrum control for that port.

Go figure.

We ask as a matter of urgency that RX values are incorporated into TPC/Spectrum Control

and also a way of knowing with SVC CLI command the RX value is supplied ASAP.
