Figure 18-1 FICON CUP Management
Enabling or Disabling FMS 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 3-15.
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.
To enable or disable FMS mode
1. Click a FICON CUP-capable switch from the Fabric Tree.
2. Launch the Switch Admin module as described on page 3-3.
3. Click the FICON CUP tab.
The FICON CUP tabbed page displays, with the FICON Management Server subtabbed page in
front, as shown in Figure 18-1. All attributes on this tab are disabled until FMS mode is enabled.
