Backup and restore in a FICON CUP environment TABLE 9
ASM bit Command Description
on or off configUpload All the files saved in the file
access facility are uploaded to
the management workstation. A
section in the uploaded
configuration file labeled
FICON_CUP is in an encoded
format.
on configDownload Files saved on the switch that
are also present in the
FICON_CUP section of the
configuration file are overwritten.
Files in the FICON section of the
configuration file that are not
currently present on the switch
are saved.
The IPL file is not replaced,
because Active=Saved mode is
on.
off configDownload Files saved on the switch that
are also present in the
FICON_CUP section of the
configuration file are overwritten.
Files in the FICON section of the
configuration file that are not
currently present on the switch
are saved.
The IPL file is replaced, because
Active=Saved mode is off. A
warning message is displayed in
the syslog to warn that the IPL
file is not being overwritten.
If FMS mode is enabled in a configuration file, but is disabled on the switch, the configDownload
command fails and displays an error message. This prevents undesirable conditions that could result
from enabling FMS mode on a switch that does not require it.
Traffic Isolation Zoning
Traffic Isolation (TI) Zoning allows you to specify dedicated data paths to control traffic flowing from a
specific set of source ports (N_Ports). TI Zoning has the following benefits:
• Separates direct attached storage device (DASD) and tape traffic.
• Selects traffic for diverse ISL routes (typical of dual fiber networks).
• In conjunction with long-distance channel extension equipment (FICON Acceleration), guarantees
bandwidth for certain mission-critical data.
Creating logical switches is preferred over creating TI Zones for FICON emulation configurations.
Logical switches can be created easily and they naturally separate disk and tape traffic to different
tunnels and network bandwidth.
