NOTE: An cascaded switch is a fabric director or switch connected to
a destination control unit and an entry switch.
c. Run the IOCP to create an input/output configuration data
set (IOCDS). The switch ID (CHPID macroinstructions) and
2-byte link address (control unit macroinstructions) are
updated in the IOCDS.
Refer to the IBM FICON Native Implementation and Reference Guide
(SG24-6266) for additional information.
10. Verify FICON devices log back in - Inspect the Node List View
and verify FICON devices (channels and control units inspected
in
step
5) log back in to the fabric as expected.
11. Verify cascaded FICON operation - Have the customer verify
operation of established logical FICON paths between channels
and control units, and verify that cascaded FICON traffic is
transmitted through the fabric as expected.
