You can modify the configured speed of a mainframe port by using VSP One Block Administrator.

  • Identify the mainframe port whose speed you want to modify.
  • The maximum data transfer rate supported by the host HBA or Fibre Channel switch must be 8 Gbps or higher.
  • The channel path must be offline on all hosts connected to the FICON® port whose data transfer rate is being configured.
  • The link between the FICON® port and the host HBA, or between the FICON® port and the switch, must be down.
