FICON CUP mode register bits (Continued) TABLE 7
DCAM Switch clock alert mode. When this bit is set on, a warning is issued when the date , tsClockServer , or
tsTimeZone commands are entered to set the time and date on the switch. The default setting is 0
(off).
HCP Host control prohibited. When this bit is set on, the host is not allowed to set CUP parameters. The
default setting is 0 (off).
POSC Programmed offline state control. If the bit is set (=1), the command from the host sets the switch offline.
If the bit is off (=0), the command from the host is rejected and the switch does not go offline. The default
setting is 1 (on).
UAM User alert mode. When this bit is set on, a warning is issued when an action is attempted that will write
CUP parameters on the switch. The default setting is 0 (off).
When the POSC bit=1, the FICON host is allowed to set the switch offline. The bit is set to 1 by default.
If you do not want to allow the host to have permission to set the switch offline, the bit should be turned
off. The state of this bit cannot be changed by the FICON host; it can only be changed through the
command line.
The ficonCupShow modereg command displays the mode register bit settings for the switch. A display
of 0 indicates that the mode register bit is set to off; 1 indicates that the bit is set to on. To display the
mode register bit HCP for the switch, enter the command as shown in the following example:
switch:admin> ficoncupshow modereg HCP
For more information on this command and an example of command output, refer to the Fabric OS
Command Reference.
FICON file access facility
The FICON file access facility (FAF) stores configuration files. This includes the initial program load
(IPL) and other configuration files. Fabric OS saves the IPL and all other configuration files on the
switch. The FAF supports a maximum of 16 configuration files, including the IPL file.
You can upload the configuration files saved on the switch to a management workstation using the
configUpload command.
For more information on the configUpload process, refer to the configuration file backup section in the
Fabric OS Administrator's Guide.
Configuration files uploaded
When you execute the configUpload command, all the files saved in the file access facility are
uploaded to a management workstation. There is a section in the uploaded configuration file labeled
[FICU SAVED FILES] where the files are stored in an encoded format.
Configuration files downloaded with Active=Saved mode enabled
When the Active=Saved mode register bit is set to on, the contents of existing files saved on the switch,
also present in the FICON_CUP section of the configuration file, are overwritten.
The files in the [FICU SAVED FILES] section of the configuration file, which are not currently on the
switch, are saved on the switch.
