Enabling Fibre Channel Write Acceleration

To enable Fibre Channel write acceleration, and optionally modify the number of write acceleration buffers with Fabric Manager, follow these steps:

  1. Expand End Devices and then select SSM Features from the Physical Attributes pane.
  2. Click Create Row in the Information pane to create a SCSI flow or click a row in the FCWA table to modify an existing SCSI flow.
  3. Select the initiator and target WWNs and VSAN IDs and check the WriteAcc check box to enable Fibre Channel write acceleration on this SCSI flow.
  4. Optionally, enable SCSI flow statistics on this SCSI flow at this time by checking the Enable Statistics check box.
  5. Optionally, set the BufCount value to the number of 2K buffers used by the SCSI target.
  6. Click Create to create this SCSI flow with Fibre Channel write acceleration or click Cancel to discard all changes.
