Data Pattern

By default, an all-zero pattern is used as the pattern for data generated by the virtual N ports. You can
optionally specify a file as the data pattern to be generated by selecting a data pattern file from one of
three locations: the bootflash: directory, the volatile: directory, or the slot0: directory. This option is
especially useful when testing compression over FCIP links. You can also use Canterbury corpus or
artificial corpus files for benchmarking purposes.
