FC/SCSI N_Port to N_Port

When an UltraNet Edge 3000 is configured for N_port, its peer UltraNet Edge 3000 must also be

configured as N_port.

FICON Port Configurations

An Edge 3000 FICON port can be a connection directly to one of the following:

• a FICON N_port (a MVS FICON Channel Interface or a FICON Control Unit FICON port)

• an E_port from a FICON capable FC Switch

• an F_port from FICON capable FC Switch

Note: FICON support is available over both GigE IP WANs and ATM OC3 WANs.

FICON ISL Extension (E_Port to E_Port)

In this configuration, the Edge FICON interfaces are extending a FICON ISL between two like

switches. The McDATA FICON Emulation Features can be enabled on this path if and only if the

device IO paths are configured correctly through the Switch Configuration. If there are multiple

ISLs between the pair of switches, then vendor specific feature such as Allow/Prohibit and/or

Preferred Paths (McDATA Switches) must be defined so that CHPID I/Os flow bi-directionally

over the same ISL.

When configuring a FICON path to be a FICON ISL, you must enable the E-port (Cascaded ISL)

FICON port option in UCM. A cascaded connection will not correctly initialize without this option

enabled.

FICON F_Port to N_Port (or N_port to F_port)

In this configuration, the Edge 3000 FICON port is directly connected to either the Channel

Interface or a Control Unit interface on one side and the other side is connected to an F_port on a

FICON capable switch.

When configuring a FICON in this configuration, you must not enable the E-port (Cascaded ISL)

FICON port option in UCM. A N_port to F_port connection will not correctly initialize with this

option enabled.
