Configuring an Allow/Prohibit Matrix

The Allow/Prohibit Matrix is a FICON port attribute that can be used to prohibit communication
between specific ports. Prohibits are not recommended on E_Ports (inter switch links).
The Allow/Prohibit Matrix can be manipulated by host-based management programs using FICON
CUP, or from a Management program to create policies and determine paths for data and
command flows. Up to 8 Allow/Prohibit matrices can be modified at the same time. Allow/Prohibit
Matrix settings apply per switch rather than per fabric, and only work when an active zone
configuration is present in the fabric.
Multiple configurations may be defined, edited, copied, or removed. Only one configuration may be
active per switch.

possible causes.
