Symptom
Unable to “vary online” FICON CUP port on the switch
.
Probable cause and recommended action
Use the
haFailover
command on an enterprise class chassis. This the only known fix as there is no
known firmware solution.
Symptom
Mainframe RMF utility fails to capture performance data
Probable cause and recommended action
In Fabric OS v6.0.0, Brocade switches do not fully implement all CUP commands needed to collect
all performance data on a switch. Upgrade your switch to Fabric OS v6.1.0, where the performance
data is captured.
Troubleshooting FICON
This section provides information gathering and troubleshooting techniques necessary to fix your
problem.
General information to gather for all cases
The following information needs to be gathered for all FICON setups:
The output from the standard support commands (
portLogDump
,
supportSave, supportShow
)
the Fabric Manager Event Log, EFCM or DCFM logs.
