Chapter 23 Configuring FICON
Creating FICON Files
Accessing FICON Configuration Files
Only one user can access the configuration file at any given time:
•
While this file is being accessed by user 1, user 2 cannot access this file.
•
When user 2 does attempt to access this file, an error is issued to user 2.
•
If user 1 has been inactive for more than 15 seconds, the file is automatically closed and available
for use by any other permitted user.
FICON configuration files can be accessed by any host, SNMP, or CLI user who is permitted to access
the switch. The locking mechanism in the SAN-OS software restricts access to one user at a time per
file. This lock applies to newly-created files and previously-saved files. Before accessing any file, you
must lock the file and obtain the file key. A new file key is used by the locking mechanism for each lock
request. The key is discarded when the lock timeout of 15 seconds expires. The lock timeout value
cannot be changed.
Editing FICON Configuration Files
The configuration file submode allows you to create and edit FICON configuration files. If a specified
file does not exist, it is created. Up to 16 files can be saved. Each file name is restricted to 8 alphanumeric
characters.
