Configuring SCSI Flow Services and Statistics
Intelligent Storage Services are features supported on the Storage Services Module (SSM). The Storage
Services Module (SSM) supports SCSI flow services and SCSI flow statistics. Intelligent Storage
Services supported in Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.0(2b) or Cisco NX-OS 4.1(1b) and later include
the following topics:
• SCSI Flow Services, page 55-1
• SCSI Flow Statistics, page 55-6
• Default Settings, page 55-8
SCSI Flow Services
A SCSI initiator/target combination is a SCSI flow. SCSI flow services provide enhanced features for
SCSI flows, such as write acceleration and flow monitoring for statistics gathering on an SSM.
This section includes the following topics:
• About SCSI Flow Services, page 55-1
• Configuring SCSI Flow Services, page 55-3
• Enabling Intelligent Storage Services, page 55-3
• Disabling Intelligent Storage Services, page 55-6
About SCSI Flow Services
A SCSI initiator/target combination is a SCSI flow. SCSI flow services provide enhanced features for
SCSI flows, such as write acceleration and flow monitoring for statistics gathering on an SSM.
Functionally, the SCSI flow services functional architecture consists of the following components:
• SCSI flow manager (SFM) on the supervisor
• SCSI flow configuration CLI on the supervisor
• SCSI flow configuration client on the Control Path Processor (CPP) of an SSM
• SCSI flow feature set support on the Data Path Processor (DPP) of an SSM
Figure 55-1 shows an example of the SCSI flow services functional architecture.
