FIGURE 134 FICON CUP management
Enabling or disabling FICON Management Server mode
FICON Management Server (FMS) is used to support switch management using CUP. To be able to
use the CUP functionality, all switches in the fabric must have FICON Management Server mode
(FMS mode) enabled. FMS mode is a per-switch setting. After FMS mode is enabled, you can
activate a CUP license without rebooting the director. You can use Web Tools to install a CUP
license. For more information on installing licenses, see “Activating a license on a switch” on
page 52.
When FMS mode is disabled, mainframe management applications, director consoles, or alternate
managers cannot communicate with a director with CUP. In addition, when FMS mode is disabled
on a director, you cannot configure CUP attributes.
1. Click a FICON CUP-capable switch from the Fabric Tree.
2. Open the Switch Administration window as described on page 41.
3. Click Show Advanced Mode.
4. Click the FICON CUP tab.
