Configuring in-order delivery or out-of-order delivery of frames on ONTAP software

You must configure either in-order delivery (IOD) or out-of-order delivery (OOD) of frames according to the fibre channel (FC) switch configuration. If the FC switch is configured for IOD, then the ONTAP software must be configured for IOD. Similarly, if the FC switch is configured for OOD, then ONTAP must be configured for OOD.

Configure ONTAP to operate either IOD or OOD of frames.

By default, IOD of frames is enabled in ONTAP. To check the configuration details:

Enter advanced mode:
set advanced
