Command History
Usage Guidelines Cisco MDS SAN-OS software provides acceleration for FICON tape write operations over FCIP for the
IBM VTS and tape libraries that support the 3490 command set. FICON tape read acceleration over FCIP
is not supported.
FICON tape acceleration will not work if multiple inter-switch links (ISLs) are present in the VSAN.
FICON write acceleration and tape acceleration can be enabled at the same time on the FCIP interface.
Note This command is not supported on the Cisco MDS 9124 switch, the Cisco Fabric Switch for HP c-Class
BladeSystem, and the Cisco Fabric Switch for IBM BladeCenter.
