Text formatting

The narrative-text formatting conventions that are used are as follows:
FICON Administrator's Guide
53-1002753-01
•
Removed restriction that XISLs cannot be configured.
•
Added instructions and restrictions on enabling XISL use and referenced Fabric OS
Command Reference for details.
-
Added section on FICON Best Practices.
-
Added section on FICON link address and FC address.
Chapter 3, "Configuring FICON CUP."
-
Under "FMS Mode and FICON CUP" section, added the following:
•
New section called "Fabric OS command limitations and considerations" to collect
differences in using Fabric OS commands when FMS mode is enabled.
•
Noted that FMS mode cannot be enabled when a logical switch is using 10-bit
addressing mode.
•
Section on port swapping limitations.
-
Moved information that was in "Configuring FICON CUP in Virtual Fabrics" section to
"FICON and FICON CUP in Virtual Fabrics" section of Chapter 2 because having sections in
two different chapters dealing with same subject is confusing. Left heading in the chapter
but referenced section in chapter 2.
-
Under "Port and switch naming standards for FMS mode," added restrictions for using
unique CUP port name.
Chapter 5, Maintaining and Troubleshooting FICON
-
Under "Configuration restoration in a FICON environment" section, fixed ASM bit "on" row
in "Backup and restore in a FICON CUP environment" table, to say that "The IPL file is not
replaced because Active=Saved mode is on." This did say Active=Saved mode is "off."
Added Appendix on Brocade and IBM platform support for FICON, Appendix on basic switch
configuration, and Appendix containing switch binding examples and scripts.
