Error description
SVC performance statistics counter "xl" in the vdisk stats is used for computing the "Overall Host Attributed Response Time Percentage" metric. Spectrum Control incorrectly calculates the metric based on a unit of microseconds. The counter is actually measured in milliseconds, making the Spectrum Control reported metric too small by a factor of 1000.
