Cascaded FICON fabric merge
25
•
(Optional) Turns on FICON Management Server (FMS) mode on all switches. If some switches
already have FMS mode enabled, it is re-enabled.
-
If switches are running Fabric OS 7.0 and later, FMS will not be enabled on switches that
do not 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.
•
(Optional) Configures long distance settings on selected ports of primary and secondary
fabrics (requires Extended Fabric license).
NOTE
If the distance between the merged fabrics is 10 km or greater, you must configure the
connection as a long distance connection.
The cascaded FICON fabrics merge wizard performs the following operations to avoid AD, ACL, and
zone database merge conflicts between the two fabrics:
•
Clears Admin Domain, Access Control Lists (ACLs), and zone databases, if they exist, from the
secondary fabric that you select within the wizard.
NOTE
Clearing the ACL database in a large fabric might take a long time; for example, in a 50-switch
fabric, this operation might take from 30 minutes to 1 hour.
•
Sets the default zoning configuration on the secondary fabric to match the default zoning
status of the primary fabric.
•
Modifies ACL Policy on the secondary fabric to match the primary fabric parameters, including
Accept Distribution and FWCP.
•
Sets FWCP in strict mode for SCC for the primary fabric.
•
Sets FWCP in tolerant mode for the Fibre Channel Routing (FCR) fabric.
