> # Enabling Fibre Channel Write Acceleration

> ## Detailed Steps

> To enable Fibre Channel Write Acceleration, and optionally modify the number of Write Acceleration buffers using the DCNM-SAN, follow these steps:

> 1. Expand End Devices and then select S SM Features from the Physical Attributes pane.

> You see the Intelligent Storage Services configuration, showing the FCWA tab in the Information pane.

> 2. Click Create Row in the Information pane to create a SCSI flow or click a row in the FCWA table to modify an existing SCSI flow.

> You see the FC Write Acceleration dialog box.

> 3. Select the initiator and target WWNs and VSAN IDs and check the WriteAcc check box to enable Fibre Channel Write Acceleration on this SCSI flow.
> 4. (Optional) Enable SCSI flow statistics on this SCSI flow at this time by checking the Enable Statistics check box.
> 5. (Optional) Set the BufCount value to the number of 2K buffers used by the SCSI target.
> 6. Click Create to create this SCSI flow with Fibre Channel Write Acceleration.
