Viewing the History Buffer
In the directory history buffer, the Key Counter column displays the 32-bit value maintained by Cisco
MDS switches. This value is incremented when any port changes state in that VSAN. The key counter
(a 32-bit value) is incremented when a FICON-related configuration is changed. Host programs can
increment this value at the start of the channel program and then perform operations on multiple ports.
The director history buffer keeps a log of which port address configuration was changed for each
key-counter value.
