Cascaded FICON fabric
NOTE
You must have FICON Management privileges to configure a fabric for cascaded FICON.
The Management application enables you to easily configure a fabric for cascaded FICON. Note
that configuring a fabric for cascaded FICON may be disruptive to current I/O operations in the
fabric, as it needs to disable and enable the switches in the fabric.
FICON configuration performs the following operations on the selected fabric:
•
Turns on the insistent domain ID flag (IDID) on all switches.
•
Sets High Integrity Fabric Configuration (HIFC) on the seed switch.
-
Fabric-wide consistency policy (FWCP) is configured to include SCC in strict mode.
-
SCC policy is created or modified to limit connectivity to only the switches in the selected
fabric.
•
Enables port-based routing on all switches.
•
Enables In-Order Delivery (IOD) on all switches.
•
Enables Dynamic Load Sharing (DLS) based on user selection and the firmware level.
NOTE
To enable DLS, all switches in the fabric must be 8 Gbps or faster and running Fabric OS 6.4 or
later.
•
(Optional) Turns on FICON Management Server (FMS) mode on all switches.
-
If switches are running Fabric OS 7.0 and later, FMS will not be enabled unless the
switches have an active CUP license.
-
If switches are running Fabric OS earlier than 7.0 and not have a CUP license, after
successful configuration, you can access the Port Connectivity (Allow/Prohibit) matrix, but
the host system cannot communicate with the FICON Management Server unless you
install a CUP license. If a CUP license is later installed on these switches, then FMS mode
must be re-enabled on these switches.
