Fabric OS 5.3.0 administrator guide 275
Enabling and disabling FICON management server mode
To enable fmsmode:
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter ficoncupse fmsmode enable.
To disable fmsmode:
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter ficoncupsetfmsmode disable.
The fmsmode setting can be changed whether the switch is offline or online. If fmsmode is changed while
the switch is online, a device reset is performed for the control device and an RSCN is generated with PID
0xDDFE00 (where 0xDD is the domain ID of the switch).
When FICON Management Server mode is on, the Fabric OS CLI commands listed here return a “switch
busy” response if they are issued when the host-based management tool is performing a write operation.
This
serialization prevents interference from local switch commands when a host-based management
program is being used to administer the switch.
NOTE: You cannot use the portCfgPersistentEnable and portCfgPersistentDisable
commands to persistently enable and disable ports when FICON Management Server mode is on. Refer to
the procedure ”Persistently enabling/disabling ports” on page 278.
Changing fmsmode from disabled to enabled triggers the following events:
• Access to switch parameters is serialized.
• The active CUP configuration data is established as follows:
• Port and switch names are not read from the IPL; they remain as previously set.
• Port “Block” and “Unblock” values are not read from the IPL; they remain as previously set with the
portEnable and portDisable commands.
• PDCM values are read from the IPL; the default is “Allow All.”
• Advanced Zoning, if used, continues to be in force. If there are any differences in restrictions set up with
Advanced Zoning and PDCM, the most restrictive rules are automatically applied.
• RSCNs are sent to devices if PDCM results in changes to connectivity between a set of ports.
