State Change Notification (RSCN) messages on a port
basis. I/O Stream Guard should be enabled only on ports
connected to initiator 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 ports for which I/O Stream Guard is enabled.
•
Disable–Enables 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.
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.
