Problem Causes
FICON not supported on switch error. FICON Unsupported Configurations:
•
FICON is not supported on base switches.
•
FICON is not supported on a logical switch which has an XISL configured.
•
FICON is not supported if the PID format is 2.
•
FICON is not supported if 10 bit address is enabled on 8-slot Backbone Chassis for
non-default switch.
•
FICON is not supported if any port address is greater than the maximum port number
of the switch.
•
48-port blades are not allowed in the Director Chassis for FICON.
•
FICON is not supported on 48-port blades in the 8-slot Backbone Chassis when
Virtual Fabrics is disabled. However, when Virtual Fabrics is enabled in the Backbone
Chassis, FICON is supported on the 48-port blade as long as the 48-port blade is part
of a logical switch. If the 48-port blade is part of the default switch on the Backbone
Chassis, FICON is not supported.
•
FICON is not supported on Admin Domain-enabled fabrics.
•
FICON is not supported on 64-port blades.
Problem Resolution
If you configured an internal FTP server and the
Management application server is running
IPv6, firmware download is not supported. Choose from one of the following options:
•
If the Management application is running IPv6 only, configure an external FTP server.
•
If the Management application is running IPv4 and IPv6, configure IPv4 to be the
preferred address.
