Chapter Administering FICON Fabrics 2 In this chapter •User security considerations 15 •Preparing a switch for FICON 15 •Configuring switched point-to-point FICON 16 •Configuring Cascaded FICON 20 •FICON and FICON CUP in Virtual Fabrics 21 •Clearing the FICON management database 22 User security considerations To administer FICON, you must have one of the following roles associated with your login name on the switch: • Admin • Operator • SwitchAdmin • FabricAdmin The User and BasicSwitchAdmin roles are view-only. The ZoneAdmin and SecurityAdmin roles have no access. In an Admin Domain-aware fabric, if you use the FICON commands (ficonShow, ficonClear, ficonCupShow, and ficonCupSet) for any Admin Domain other than AD0 and AD255, the current switch must be a member of that Admin Domain. The output is not filtered based on the Admin Domain. Preparing a switch for FICON The following steps are provided for you to verify and prepare a switch for use in a switched point-to-point FICON environment. Single-switch configuration does not require insistent domain IDs (IDIDs) or fabric binding, provided that connected channels are configured for single-byte addressing. However, you should configure IDID to ensure that domain IDs are maintained. 1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role. 2. Verify the management IPs have been set up. 3. Verify the switches can be seen by your management tool. 4. Verify the switches have the correct version of Fabric OS.
