Resetting FMS mode

Resetting FMS mode provides a method to fix unresponsive CUP conditions and other run-time errors.

CAUTION
Use this procedure only under direction from technical support personnel. Indiscriminate use
can disrupt CCW processing and create errors at the host.

Entering the ficonCupSet fmsmode reset command does not change any configuration states, but
accomplishes the following:
