Cascaded FICON fabric

NOTE

You must have FICON Management privileges to configure a fabric for cascaded FICON.

The Management application enables you to easily configure a fabric for cascaded FICON. Note
that configuring a fabric for cascaded FICON may be disruptive to current I/O operations in the
fabric, as this involves disabling and enabling the switches in the fabric.

FICON configuration performs the following operations on the selected fabric:

Turns on the insistent domain ID flag (IDID) on all switches.

Sets High Integrity Fabric Configuration (HIFC) on the seed switch.

-

Fabric-wide consistency policy (FWCP) is configured to include SCC in strict mode.

-

SCC policy is created or modified to limit connectivity to only the switches in the selected
fabric.

Enables port-based routing on all switches.

Enables In-Order Delivery (IOD) on all switches.
