Tip FCIP write acceleration can be enabled for multiple FCIP tunnels if the tunnels are part of a dynamic
PortChannel configured with channel mode active. FCIP write acceleration does not work if multiple
non-PortChannel ISLs exist with equal weight between the initiator and the target port. Such a
configuration might cause either SCSI discovery failure or failed WRITE or READ operations.
Tip Do not enable time stamp control on an FCIP interface with write acceleration configured.
Write acceleration cannot be used across FSPF equal cost paths in FCIP deployments. Native Fibre
Note
Channel write acceleration can be used with Port Channels. Also, FCIP write acceleration can be used
in Port Channels configured with channel mode active or constructed with Port Channel Protocol (PCP).
