FICON emulation overview
FICON emulation supports FICON traffic over IP WANs using FCIP as the underlying protocol. FICON
emulation can be extended to support performance enhancements for specific applications
through use of the following licensed features:
XRC emulation
Tape write pipelining
Tape read pipelining
The 4Gbps platforms use the following licenses:
FICON Tape license (write and read tape pipelining)
FICON XRC license
The 8Gbps platforms use the following license:
Advanced FICON Acceleration (FTR_AFA) license is used for is for XRC, write and read tape
pipelining and contain the following options:
-
Capacity 1
-
Consumed 1
-
Configured Blade Slots 1
-
Expiry Date 10/06/2009
ATTENTION
Use the
licenseShow
command to verify the licenses are installed on the hardware at both ends of
the FCIP tunnel.
