Port Swapping
The FICON port swapping feature is only provided for maintenance purposes.
Follow these guidelines when using the FICON port swapping feature:
•
Port swapping is not supported for logical ports (PortChannels, FCIP links).
•
Port swapping is not supported between physical ports that are part of a PortChannel.
•
If the two ports involved in a port swap have incompatible configuration options, the port swap is
rejected with an appropriate reason code. For example, if a port with BB_credits as 25 is being
swapped with an OSM port for which a maximum of 12 BB_credits is allowed (not a configurable
parameter), the port swapping operation is rejected.
