Configuring a cascaded FICON fabric

NOTE

If you receive a 'FICON not supported on switch' error, refer to FICON troubleshooting for a list of

possible causes.

The FICON wizard automatically creates high integrity fabric configuration settings that support a

cascaded FICON fabric.

1. Select Configure > FICON > Configure Fabric.

The Configure Cascaded FICON Fabric screen of the FICON Configuration dialog displays

(Figure 203).

2. Use the Fabric drop-down selector to select the fabric you want to configure.

NOTE

(Fabric OS switches only) All switches in a fabric must be running Fabric OS version 5.2 or later.

If a Fabric OS version earlier than version 5.2 is present in the topology, the fabric is not listed.

3. Select the FMS Mode check box to manage the fabric by a host-based management program

using FICON CUP protocol.

If you select FMS Mode, each switch is checked for a CUP license. Any switches that do not

have a CUP license are listed, with a reminder that a CUP license is necessary to communicate

with the fabric management server.
