FMS mode and FICON CUP

FMS mode and FICON CUP

The FMS mode setting can be changed whether the switch is disabled or enabled and whether the
switch has a FICON CUP license installed or not. If FMS mode is changed while the switch is
enabled, a device reset is performed for the control device and an RSCN is generated with PID
0xDDFE00, where 0xDD is the domain ID of the switch.
When FICON Management Server mode is enabled, the Fabric OS commands listed here return a
"switch busy" response if they are issued when the host-based management tool is performing a
write operation. This serialization prevents interference from local switch commands when a
host-based management program is being used to administer the switch.

You cannot use the portCfgPersistentEnable and portCfgPersistentDisable commands to
persistently enable and disable ports when FICON Management Server mode is on. See the

"Persistently enabling and disabling ports for CUP"
Access to switch configuration parameters is serialized.
The active CUP configuration data is established as follows:
-
Port and switch names are not read from the IPL file; they remain as previously set.
-
Port "Block" and "Unblock" values are not read from the IPL file; they remain as previously
set with the portEnable and portDisable commands.
-
PDCM values are read from the IPL file; the default is "Allow All."
Brocade Advanced Zoning, if used, continues to be in force. If there are any differences in
restrictions set up with Brocade Advanced Zoning and PDCMs, the most restrictive rules are
automatically applied.
RSCNs are sent to devices if PDCM results in changes to connectivity between a set of ports
that are zoned together. Fabric OS does not send an inter-switch RSCN to EOS switches when
FMS is disabled or enabled.
A device reset is performed on the control device.
Prohibits are no longer enforced.
RSCNs might be generated to some devices if PDCM removal results in changes to connectivity
between a set of ports that are zoned together.
If a given port was set to "Block" or "Unblock," that port remains disabled or enabled.
