NOTE:
The PM when enabled takes control of all PMAs in the system. As such:
• Tools which directly access the PMAs should not be used. Such as
iba_mon, and chassis port thresholding (ismAutoClearConf for
QLogic Chassis should be set to disabled)
• Tools which query the PMA counters may yield unexpected results.

Port Groups
Figure 2-10. Management Paths Prior to Release 6.0
The PA separates the ports in the fabric into groups, which it then monitors
according to the performance of the ports in the group. The following pre-defined
groups are built into in the PM/PA:
• All – all ports in the fabric
• Host Channel Adapters – all ports on Host Channel Adapters in the fabric
