Port commissioning
NOTE
Port commissioning is only supported on FICON devices running Fabric OS 7.1 or later.
Port commissioning provides an automated mechanism to remove an E_Port or F_Port from use
(decommission) and to put it back in use (recommission). This feature identifies the target port and
communicates the intention to decommission or recommission the port to those systems within
the fabric affected by the action. Each affected system can agree or disagree with the action, and
these responses are automatically collected before a port is decommissioned or recommissioned.
Note the following restrictions of port commissioning:
•
The local switch and the remote switch on the other end of the E_Port or F_Port must both be
running Fabric OS 7.1.0 or later.
•
Port commissioning is not supported on links configured for encryption or compression.
