FMS mode and FICON CUP
3
•
Serialized access to switch parameters ceases.
When a CUP license is installed, the transition from FMS mode disabled to FMS mode enabled
triggers notification to the host systems that the CUP feature is available. Without this notification,
the host systems never know that the CUP feature is available and, consequently, never try to
communicate with it.
If you install a CUP license on a switch that already has FMS mode enabled, you must disable FMS
mode first and re-enable it after the license is installed so the host systems receive the notification
that CUP is enabled.
