100
This configuration change will disrupt all
traffic on the FCIP interface in all
VSANs.
switch(config-if)# no ficon-tape-accelerator

CUP In-Band Management

The Control Unit Port (CUP) protocol configures access control and provides unified storage
management capabilities from a mainframe computer. Cisco MDS 9000 FICON-enabled switches are
fully IBM CUP standard compliant for in-band management using the IBM S/A OS/390 I/O operations
console.
The CUP specification is proprietary to IBM.
