Configuring FICON Ports Chapter 36 Configuring FICON Send documentation comments to [email protected] • FICON-specific configuration changes are immediately saved to the IPL file (see the "FICON Configuration Files" section on page 36-28). If the Active=Saved option is not enabled in any FICON-enabled VSAN in the fabric, then FICON-specific configuration changes are not saved in the IPL file and an implicit copy running startup command is not issued, you must explicitly save the running configuration to the startup configuration (see number 3 in Table 36-2). Table 36-2 Saving the Active FICON and Switch Configuration FICON- Implicitcopy enabled active equals saved running start Number VSAN? Enabled? Issued? 1 Yes Yes (in all FICON Implicit VSANs) 2 Yes Yes (even in one Implicit FICON VSAN) 3 Yes Not in any FICON Not implicit VSAN 4 No Not applicable Notes FICON changes written to the IPL file. Non-FICON changes saved to startup configuration and persistent storage. FICON changes written to IPL file for only the VSAN that has active equals saved option enabled. Non-FICON changes saved to startup configuration and persistent storage. FICON changes are not written to the IPL file. Non-FICON changes are saved in persistent storage-only if you explicitly issue the copy running start command. To save the running config, follow these steps: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Choose VSAN > FICON. You see a list of switches under the Control tab in the Information pane. Click the VSANs tab. You see the FICON VSAN configuration information in the Information pane (see Figure 36-13). Check the Active=Saved check box to automatically save the running configuration to the startup configuration whenever there is a FICON configuration change. Click the Apply Changes icon to save these changes. Configuring FICON Ports You can perform FICON configurations on a per-port address basis in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family of switches. Even if a port is uninstalled, the port address-based configuration is accepted by the Cisco MDS switch. This configuration is applied to the port when the port becomes installed.
