The EC command, as implemented in the Chaparral router, requires no administration.
Administering an EC environment is most intensive on the application side. Chaparral
supports the Storage Networking Industry Association Extended Copy Specification
(ANSI T10/ 99-143R1). Any questions related to using a Chaparral router in an EC
environment should be directed to the application provider or your reseller. If you are
developing EC enabled applications, contact Chaparral for information on our specific
implementation.
