Fibre Channel Read Diagnostic Parameters Fibre Channel RDP querying is not supported on NPV, Port Channel or FCoE links. FCIP Support In Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 8.4(2c), FCIP Write Acceleration is not supported between 24/10 San Extension Module and Cisco 18+4 MSM and Cisco SSN16 Modules. In Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 8.4(2c), FCIP Write Acceleration along with IVR is not supported on FCIP tunnels configured on Cisco MDS 9700 Series switches. FCIP tunnels using Cisco MDS 24/10 Port SAN Extension Module cannot be used across FSPF equal cost paths. On Cisco MDS 24/10 Port SAN Extension Module, configuring multiple ECMP port channels with FCIP members in the same VSAN is not a valid configuration. If this is configured, then the traffic will flow through only one of the port channels. 40GE IP Storage Interfaces Support In Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 8.4(2c), 40GE IP Storage Interfaces are not supported. iSCSI Support In Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 8.4(2c), iSCSI is not supported on Cisco MDS 9700 Directors with Cisco MDS 24/10 port SAN Extension Modules. 16 Dell EMC Connectrix MDS 9000 NX-OS Release Notes
