Intelligent Storage Services
All Intelligent Storage Services must be enabled on an SSM before the service can be configured. For
switches running Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.1(1a) or later software, these services are enabled for
all ports on the SSM, or provisioned in groups of four ports. Switches running earlier releases that
support intelligent storage services enable a service across all ports.
Note The four port groups are contiguous, requiring you to configure ports 1 through 4, 5 through 8, and so on.
