Extending RDR applications over FCIP

This section provides considerations for configuring tunnels and circuits when extending remote
data replication (RDR) applications over FCIP.

When to enable Fast Write

Enabling Fast Write depends on the application that you are extending over FCIP. Use the following
table to determine if Fast Write should be enabled for a tunnel configuration. Enable Fast Write
through the FCIP Tunnel Advanced Settings dialog box. Access this dialog box by selecting
Advanced Settings on the Add FCIP Tunnel dialog box.
