Description
Allows the configuration of SCSI flow services
on groups of four interfaces as well as the entire
module.
Allows the use of the dollar sign ($) and the
percent sign (%) in TACACS+ secret global keys.
Allows the user to configure which
linkUp/linkDown trap notifications to enable for
interfaces.
Allows the user to enable NASB for storage array
controller devices.
Allows NASB to rediscover a target device.
Allows users to check for potential WWN
conflicts in the current configuration
Allows non-unique domain IDs in an IVR
topology. This feature simplifies the deployment
of IVR in an existing fabric.
Uses CFS configuration distribution in auto mode
to learn the topology of the IVR-enabled switches
in the network.
Reduces the amount of traffic to
non-IVR-enabled switches by restricting
IVR-related traffic to the IVR-enabled switches.
Allows more that one VSAN in the network with
the same VSAN ID.
Allows IVR to directly support LUN zoning.
Allows IVZ QoS to be configured separately from
other zone attributes.
Allows third-party data storage applications, such
as long distance replication and continuous
backup, to be integrated into the SAN.
Supports server-free backups in the SAN.
Instructs the other switches in the fabric to save
their configurations to their local NVRAM.
