command should be used in FICON environment before replacing bot the
CP blades.

Configuration file format
The configuration file is divided into three areas: the header, the chassis section, and one or more logical-switch sections.
Chassis section
There is only one chassis section within a configuration. It defines configuration data for chassis components that affect the entire
system, not just one individual logical switch. The chassis section is included in non-Virtual Fabric modes only if you use the
configUpload -all command.
The chassis section specifies characteristics for the following software components:
∙ FC Routing - Fibre Channel Routing
∙ Chassis configuration - Chassis configuration
∙ FCOE_CH_CONF - FCoE chassis configuration
∙ UDROLE_CONF - User-defined role configuration
∙ LicensesDB - License Database (newer-format license storage)
∙ DMM_WWN - Data migration manager World Wide Name configuration
∙ License Database - (older-format license storage)
∙ AGWWN_MAPPING_CONF - Access Gateway WWN mapping configuration
∙ LicensesLservc - Sentinel License configuration
∙ GE blade mode - GigE Mode configuration
∙ FRAME LOG - Frame log configuration (enable/disable)
∙ DMM_TB - Data migration manager configuration
∙ MOTD - Message of the day
Switch section
There is always at least one switch section for the default switch or a switch that has Virtual Fabrics mode disabled, and there are
additional sections corresponding to each additionally defined logical switch instance on a switch with Virtual Fabrics mode enabled. This
data is switch-specific and affects only that logical switch behavior.
The switch section of the configuration file contains information for all of the following:
∙ Boot parameters
∙ Configuration
∙ Bottleneck configuration
∙ Flow Vision configuration
∙ FCoE software configuration
∙ Zoning
∙ Defined security policies
∙ Active security policies
