# Best Practices for the IBM XIV Storage Array

#### Best Practices

- By default, IntelliSnap backup uses the first Fibre Channel (FC) adapter that it detects. To use a different FC adapter, adjust the settings of the sSNAP_UseINITIATOR additional setting.

- For Windows and UNIX clients, the Fibre Channel protocol is used for mounting snapshots. If you want to replace FC with iSCSI, even if a FC adapter is detected, set the sSNAP_IsISCSI additional setting to iSCSI.
