The Create Data Path Wizard - Choose Data Path Options screen
appears.
Use this dialog box to choose the data path options you want
enabled between the Fibre Channel interfaces.
Enable Disk Streaming
Check this box to enable E_port Disk Streaming. E_port Disk
Streaming increases performance in networks that have a round trip
latency greater than 10 ms. It moves data more efficiently than our
standard E_port solution.
E_port Disk Streaming is disabled by default (the box is not
checked). To verify if E_port Disk Streaming has been enabled
after the network has been configured, refer to the
“E_Port Disk
Streaming Settings” section in Appendix D, Advanced UCM
Configurations.
Chapter 3, Network Design Criteria, provides network
recommendations for E_port Disk Streaming, see the “E_Port
Disk Streaming Network Recommendations” section.
Enable Switch WWN Proxy
Use this dialog box to choose whether you would like to enable
the Switch WWN Proxy between Node10 and Node20. If this
option is enabled, the Fibre Channel driver will respond to
Exchange Link Parameter (ELP) requests with the World Wide
Name (WWN) of the remote Fibre Channel Switch. This option is
disabled by default (the box is not checked).
