Configuring the IOA Flows

Before configuring the IOA flows, flow groups must be created.
To create a new IOA flow group and add flows, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# ioa cluster
tape_vault
Step 3
switch(config-ioa-cl)#
flowgroup tsm
switch(config-ioa-cl)# no
flowgroup tsm
Step 4
sjc-sw2(config-ioa-cl-flgrp)#
host 10:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 target
11:0:0:0:0:0:0:1
sjc-sw2(config-ioa-cl-flgrp)#
host 10:0:0:0:0:0:0:2 target
11:0:0:0:0:0:0:2 tape
sjc-sw2(config-ioa-cl-flgrp)#
host 10:0:0:0:0:0:0:3 target
11:0:0:0:0:0:0:3 compression
sjc-sw2(config-ioa-cl-flgrp)#
host 10:0:0:0:0:0:0:4 target
11:0:0:0:0:0:0:4 tape
compression
sjc-sw2(config-ioa-cl-flgrp)#
no host 10:0:0:0:0:0:0:1
target 11:0:0:0:0:0:0:1
Note We recommend that you suspend the traffic while enabling IOA for a given flow.
The following examples display the configured flow information:
