It focuses on the hardware installation as well as the software definitions needed to provide connectivity for supported FICON environments. This book provides planning information and FICON Director setup information. Also included are helpful utilities for monitoring and managing the INRANGE FC/9000 FICON Director environment. This document is intended for system engineers, SAN administrators, and system programmers who will plan and install INRANGE FC/9000 FICON Directors. A good background in systems planning, hardware and cabling infrastructure planning, and zSeries I/O definitions (HCD or IOCP), as well as Fibre Channel or FICON Directors, is assumed.IBM redbooks.Fibre Channel (Standard)Computer input-output equipmentStorage area networks (Computer networks)Fibre Channel (Standard)Computer input-output equipment.Storage area networks (Computer networks)004.6White Bill1641773Fries Wolfgang1641774Lindenau Manfred1641775International Business Machines Corporation.International Technical Support Organization.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910816213403321Getting started with the INRANGE FC3986100UNINA
