configuration file is applied automatically by the SAN-OS software after the switch initialization is
completed.
Use the ficon vsan vsan-id copy file exiting-file-name save-as-file-name command to copy an existing
FICON configuration file. You can see the list of existing configuration files by issuing the show ficon
vsan vsan-id command.
