Mode register bit settings

A mode register controls the behavior of the switch with respect to CUP itself, and with respect to
the behavior of other management interfaces. The mode register bits are described in
TABLE 4
ACP
ASM
DCAM
HCP
POSC
UAM
The ficonCupShow modereg command displays the mode register bit settings for the switch. A
display of 0 indicates that the mode register bit is set to off; 1 indicates that the bit is set to on.
The following example displays all mode register bit settings for the switch. When the POSC bit=1,
the FICON host is allowed to set the switch offline. The bit is set to 1 by default. If you do not want
to allow the host to have permission to set the switch offline, the bit should be turned off. The state
of this bit cannot be changed by the FICON host, it can only be changed through the command line.

If you are configuring FICON CUP on a director, enter the haFailover command to ensure that
FMS is enabled on both CPs.
FICON CUP mode register bits
Alternate control prohibited. Because the Fabric OS CLI, Web Tools, and Data Center Fabric
Manager are considered to be switch consoles, this bit has no effect on their operation. Attempts
to set CUP parameters through SNMP are denied when this bit is set on. The default setting is 1
(on).
Active=saved mode. When this bit is set on, all CUP configuration parameters are persistent,
meaning that they will be saved in nonvolatile storage in the IPL file that is applied upon a cold
reboot or a power cycle. The default setting is 1 (on).
Switch clock alert mode. When this bit is set on, a warning is issued when the date,
tsClockServer, or tsTimeZone commands are entered to set the time and date on the switch. The
default setting is 0 (off).
Host control prohibited. When this bit is set on, the host is not allowed to set CUP parameters.
The default setting is 0 (off).
Programmed offline state control. If the bit is set (=1) the command from the host will set the
switch offline. If the bit is off (=0) the command from the host will be rejected and the switch will
not go offline. The default setting is 1 (on).
User alert mode. When this bit is set on, a warning is issued when an action is attempted that
will write CUP parameters on the switch. The default setting is 0 (off).
