FICON Configuration Files
You can save up to 16 FICON configuration files on each FICON-enabled VSAN (in persistent storage).
The file format is proprietary to IBM. These files can be read and written by IBM hosts using the in-band
CUP protocol. Additionally, you can use the Cisco MDS CLI or Fabric Manager applications to operate
on these FICON configuration files.
Note Multiple FICON configuration files with the same name can exist in the same switch, provided they
reside in different VSANs. For example, you can create a configuration file named XYZ in both VSAN
1 and VSAN 3.
When you enable the FICON feature in a VSAN, the switches always use the startup FICON
configuration file, called IPL. This file is created with a default configuration as soon as FICON is
enabled in a VSAN.
Caution When FICON is disabled on a VSAN, all the FICON configuration files are irretrievably lost.
