Cisco MDS 9148 - Performance issue

Hi all, We are experiencing slowness in our storage network (higher latency). I have checked the network and there is a visible issue on the switches. There is a lot of RX_WT_AVG_B2B_ZERO errors on the edge links and the uplink also. edgeswitch#sh logging onboard err -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ERROR STATISTICS INFORMATION FOR DEVICE ID 127 DEVICE Sabre-fcp -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interface | | | Time Stamp Range | Error Stat Counter Name | Count |MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- fc1/3 |FCP_CNTR_RX_WT_AVG_B2B_ZERO |2093 |09/16/16 10:11:07 fc1/10 |FCP_CNTR_RX_WT_AVG_B2B_ZERO |5468 |09/16/16 10:07:57 fc1/34 |FCP_CNTR_RX_WT_AVG_B2B_ZERO |4122 |09/16/16 10:05:27 fc1/34 |FCP_CNTR_RX_WT_AVG_B2B_ZERO |4121 |09/16/16 09:54:47 fc1/7 |FCP_CNTR_RX_WT_AVG_B2B_ZERO |649 |09/16/16 09:38:57 fc1/5 |FCP_CNTR_RX_WT_AVG_B2B_ZERO |780 |09/16/16 09:31:07 fc1/15 |FCP_CNTR_RX_WT_AVG_B2B_ZERO |5379 |09/16/16 09:09:06 fc1/1 |FCP_CNTR_RX_WT_AVG_B2B_ZERO |2323 |09/16/16 08:28:56 fc1/5 |FCP_CNTR_RX_WT_AVG_B2B_ZERO |779 |09/16/16 08:28:46 fc1/34 |FCP_CNTR_RX_WT_AVG_B2B_ZERO |4120 |09/16/16 08:19:16 fc1/29 |FCP_CNTR_RX_WT_AVG_B2B_ZERO |4420 |09/16/16 08:18:16 fc1/7 |FCP_CNTR_RX_WT_AVG_B2B_ZERO |648 |09/16/16 07:28:56 fc1/7 |FCP_CNTR_RX_WT_AVG_B2B_ZERO |647 |09/16/16 07:22:26 Uplink: edgeswitch# sh logging onboard err | i fc1/47|1/48 fc1/48 |FCP_CNTR_RX_WT_AVG_B2B_ZERO |1642 |09/16/16 06:08:05 fc1/47 |FCP_CNTR_RX_WT_AVG_B2B_ZERO |1124 |09/15/16 08:09:17 fc1/48 |FCP_CNTR_RX_WT_AVG_B2B_ZERO |1641 |09/15/16 00:10:24 fc1/47 |FCP_CNTR_RX_WT_AVG_B2B_ZERO |1123 |09/13/16 23:00:03 fc1/48 |FCP_CNTR_RX_WT_AVG_B2B_ZERO |1640 |09/13/16 05:59:46 fc1/47 |FCP_CNTR_RX_WT_AVG_B2B_ZERO |1122 |09/11/16 13:47:21 fc1/48 |FCP_CNTR_RX_WT_AVG_B2B_ZERO |1639 |09/10/16 11:32:00 fc1/48 |FCP_CNTR_RX_WT_AVG_B2B_ZERO |1638 |09/10/16 10:04:40 fc1/48 |FCP_CNTR_RX_WT_AVG_B2B_ZERO |1637 |09/10/16 05:21:38 fc1/48 |FCP_CNTR_RX_WT_AVG_B2B_ZERO |1636 |09/09/16 23:32:16 fc1/48 |FCP_CNTR_RX_WT_AVG_B2B_ZERO |1635 |09/08/16 22:38:47 fc1/48 |FCP_CNTR_RX_WT_AVG_B2B_ZERO |1634 |09/08/16 16:45:24 fc1/48 |FCP_CNTR_RX_WT_AVG_B2B_ZERO |1633 |09/08/16 13:13:13 fc1/48 |FCP_CNTR_RX_WT_AVG_B2B_ZERO |1632 |09/08/16 04:57:10 fc1/48 |FCP_CNTR_RX_WT_AVG_B2B_ZERO |1631 |09/08/16 04:39:00 edgeswitch# sh int po 142 port-channel142 is trunking Port description is Uplink to BLUE Fabric Core in 341 Hardware is Fibre Channel Port WWN is 24:8e:54:7f:ee:e2:97:d8 Admin port mode is E, trunk mode is on snmp link state traps are enabled Port mode is TE Port vsan is 1 Speed is 8 Gbps admin fec state is down oper fec state is down Trunk vsans (admin allowed and active) (100,2040) Trunk vsans (up) (100,2040) Trunk vsans (isolated) () Trunk vsans (initializing) () 5 minutes input rate 1131921504 bits/sec,141490188 bytes/sec, 96059 frames/sec 5 minutes output rate 2327582656 bits/sec,290947832 bytes/sec, 173273 frames/sec 5662057717770 frames input,8722269625624360 bytes 0 discards,0 errors 0 invalid CRC/FCS,0 unknown class 0 too long,0 too short 8721141056898 frames output,14700759076476192 bytes 4331 discards,0 errors 0 input OLS,3 LRR,0 NOS,0 loop inits 6 output OLS,9 LRR, 4 NOS, 0 loop inits Member[1] : fc1/47 Member[2] : fc1/48 Interface last changed at Tue Dec 8 21:08:00 2015 We have 2x4G uplink in ISL, but it looks the max traffic is around 4G (however the over subscription around 13:1) Switch is Cisco MDS 9148 with 6.2(7) The core is Cisco MDS 9513 with 6.2(9c). Could you check and help me what can be the issue in this case please? or help me how can it be determined? Thanks in advance.

Most likely this is a BB credit issue (no more credits)
