One of the interesting items for SCSI users is the following: Configuration Utility: The Configuration Utility for FCP LUN Access Control is designed to be a Linux user space application which may be used to configure the FCP LUN Access Control. To define and activate LUN Access Control, you would create an access control table that describes the access rights in XML format. In this table, you would define access rights to storage controllers and devices in the SAN and identify devices to be shared in read-only mode. The Configuration Utility for FCP LUN Access Control is required to process the access control table, verify proper specification of the rules, and activate the access control functions in the FCP channel. The Configuration Utility for FCP LUN Access Control is designed to be a package consisting of user documentation and sample files with a skeleton to help you generate an XML-format access control table, and the utility program itself. The program is intended to provide a command line interface (CLI) and be supported by Linux on zSeries. The Configuration Utility will be provided for download by registered users via Resource Link (TM) http://www.ibm.com/servers/resourcelink/ A user's guide for this function is available, and is named Configuration Utility for FCP LUN Access Control User's Guide, publication SC33-8280-00. FCP LUN Access Control will be supported by the FICON Express2 and FICON Express features when configured as CHPID type FCP, will be exclusive to z990 and z890, and is planned to be available in the z/VM and Linux on zSeries environments. Refer to the Software requirements section for further information. This statement represents IBM's current intentions. IBM development plans are subject to change or withdrawal without further notice. To obtain the authorization code for downloading both the configuration tool and the user's manual via Resource Link, contact via e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] You must include your Resource Link ID, the customer name, the z990/z890 machine serial number, and a short description of intended usage. In the subject line, place "Requesting access to FCP LUN Access Configuration Utility." Once approved, you will be given access to download the tool.
