Enabling Intelligent Storage Services
In Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.1(1a) or later, you can provision a subset of the ports for an SSM
feature. The port range must be a multiple of four (for example fc4/1 through fc4-12).
To enable Intelligent Storage Services in Fabric Manager for an SSM and provision all ports or a group
of ports to use these services, follow these steps:
Step 1 Choose End Devices > SSM Features in the Physical Attributes pane. You see the Intelligent Storage
Services configuration in the Information pane.
Step 2 Click the SSM tab. You see the set of configured services in the Information pane.
Step 3 Click the Create Row... icon to enable a new service on an SSM. You see the SSM Create dialog box.
Step 4 Select the Switch and SSM Card you want to configure.
Step 5 Uncheck the Use All Ports on Card check box if you want to provision a subset of the ports on the card
to use this service.
Step 6 Select the port range you want to provision for using this service (starting port and ending port).
Note The port range must be a multiple of four (for example fc4/1 through fc4-12).
Step 7 Select the Feature you want to enable on these ports from the drop-down list of services.
Step 8 Set the PartnerImageURI field if you are enabling a third-party application that requires an image
loaded onto the SSM.
Step 9 Click Create to create this row and enable this service or click Cancel to discard all changes.
