•
FICON is not supported on a logical switch which has an XISL configured.

for non-default switch.
•
FICON is not supported if any port address is greater than the maximum port number
of the switch.
•
48-port blades are not allowed in the Director Chassis for FICON.
•
FICON is not supported on 48-port blades in the 384-port Backbone Chassis when
Virtual Fabrics is disabled. However, when Virtual Fabrics is enabled in the Backbone
Chassis, FICON is supported on the 48-port blade as long as the 48-port blade is part
of a logical switch. If the 48-port blade is part of the default switch on the Backbone
Chassis, FICON is not supported.

FICON is not supported on Admin Domain-enabled fabrics.
•
FICON is not supported on 64-port blades.
Resolution
Choose from one of the following options:
•
If the Management application is running IPv6 only, configure an external FTP server.
•
If the Management application is running IPv4 and IPv6, configure IPv4 to be the
preferred address.
