The following settings are available.
Setting | Description |
|
|
Stealth Intelligent Change | Stealth Intelligent Change Manager provides stability and control over |
Manager | change notification disruptions on a port basis. Options include: |
| • Off: No Change Protection – no Stealth Intelligent Change Manager |
| control. |
| • Initiator: Only Receive Changes – devices attached to the port can |
| receive change notifications but will not propagate change notifications |
| generated by that port to other ports. |
| • Target: Only Send Changes – propagates change notifications gener- |
| ated by the port to other ports but will not allow devices attached to the |
| port to receive change notifications from other ports. |
| • |
| tions to propagate between switches. |
| • |
| so by a customer service representative. |
|
|
Change Notification on | The switch normally operates under the condition that when a device is |
Insertion | inserted onto the network, a change notification is generated. However, |
| this condition is not always true when connecting hubs or switches |
| together. In some instances, it is possible to connect two zones together |
| without the zones realizing that multiple AL_PAs exist with the same |
| values. |
| When this policy is enabled, the switch always generates a change |
| notification to ensure the proper system updates are performed. However, |
| when a device is removed (for example, an initiator or target), the removal |
| does not generate a change notification and there are no system updates |
| performed. |
|
|
Change Notification on | This policy is similar to the Change Notification on Insertion policy, except |
Removal | for the change notification being sent when a device is removed rather |
| than inserted. |
| When this policy is enabled, the switch always generates a change |
| notification to ensure the proper system updates are performed. |
