Determining physical port assignment 3 1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role. 2. Determine current logical switch configuration using the lsCfg --show command. 3. Define the new logical switch using the lsCfg --create command. 4. Enter the setContext command to set the context to the newly created logical switch. 5. Enter the configure command to configure the newly created logical switch. 6. Enter y at the Fabric Parameters prompt. 7. Assign a domain ID, as appropriate. 8. Allow XISL USE (0). This parameter must be zero (0) for FICON CUP. 9. Set the 256 area mode (1). This parameter must be set to 1 for FICON CUP. Dynamic, or zero based area assignment (256 Area Mode = 1), has the advantage of allowing you to use high port count (48 port) blades. The disadvantage is that in interopMode 2 domain,index zoning will not work with ports that have an index greater than 255. Fixed, or port-based area assignment (256 Area Mode = 2), has the advantage of being compatible with domain,index zoning; but you cannot add a port with an index greater than 255 to the partition. As the name implies, the default assignment is area = port. 10. Add ports to the logical switch using the lsCfg --configure command. 11. (Optionally) Bind a port address to the index using the following syntax: portaddress --bind [SlotNumber/]PortNumber --auto [1|0] 12. Display switch port content using the switchShow command. 13. Once the logical switches are set up, install CUP on the logical switch per the instructions in "Configuring FICON CUP" on page 27.

1.
Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2.
Determine current logical switch configuration using the
lsCfg
--
show
command.
3.
Define the new logical switch using the
lsCfg
--
create
command.
4.
Enter the
setContext
command to set the context to the newly created logical switch.
5.
Enter the
configure
command to configure the newly created logical switch.
6.
Enter
y
at the
Fabric Parameters
prompt.
7.
Assign a domain ID, as appropriate.
8.
Allow XISL USE (0). This parameter must be zero (0) for FICON CUP.
9.
Set the 256 area mode (1). This parameter must be set to 1 for FICON CUP.
Dynamic, or zero based area assignment (256 Area Mode = 1), has the advantage of allowing
you to use high port count (48 port) blades. The disadvantage is that in interopMode 2
domain,index
zoning will not work with ports that have an index greater than 255.

zoning; but you cannot add a port with an index greater than
255 to the partition. As the name implies, the default assignment is area = port.

command.
11.
(Optionally) Bind a port address to the index using the following syntax:
portaddress --bind [SlotNumber/]PortNumber <16 bit area> --auto [1|0]
12.
Display switch port content using the
switchShow
command.
13.
Once the logical switches are set up, install CUP on the logical switch per the instructions in

column.
5.
Read across to the
Slot
and
Port
columns.
