FICON sup
port
With release 5.2.0 and later, the Switch Connection Control high integrity

a separate Secure Fabric OS license.

running Secured Fabric OS, HP recommends that users continue to deploy
Secure Fabric OS on the new FICON Director instead of migrating to FOS ACL
configuration.

The FC4–48 port Blade is not supported to connect to System z environments
vi a FICON channels or via FCP zLinux on System z. To attach the Direct or
to the System z environment, use a n FC4–16 or FC4–32 Fibre Channel
port Blade.
