condition.

Change Notification (RSCN) messages on a port basis. I/O
Stream Guard should be enabled only on ports connected to ini-
tiator devices. To change, click in the field and select an option
from the drop-down list. The options are:
Enable - suppresses the reception of RSCN messages from
other ports for which I/O Stream Guard is enabled.
Disable - allows free transmission and reception of RSCN
messages.
Auto - suppresses the reception of RSCN messages when
the port is connected to an initiator device with an HBA. The
default is Auto.
Device Scan The Device Scan feature queries the connected device during
login for FC-4 descriptor information. Disable this option only if
the scan creates a conflict with the connected device.
