About FICON Configuration Files
Only one user can access the configuration file at any given time:

•
•
FICON configuration files can be accessed by any host, SNMP, or CLI user who is permitted to access
the switch. The locking mechanism in the Cisco NX-OS software restricts access to one user at a time
per file. This lock applies to newly created files and previously saved files. Before accessing any file,
you must lock the file and obtain the file key. A new file key is used by the locking mechanism for each
lock request. The key is discarded when the lock timeout of 15 seconds expires. The lock timeout value
cannot be changed.
Applying the Saved Configuration Files to the Running Configuration
You can apply the configuration from the saved files to the running configuration using the ficon vsan
number apply file filename command.
switch# ficon vsan 2 apply file SampleFile
Editing FICON Configuration Files

file does not exist, it is created. Up to 16 files can be saved. Each file name is restricted to eight
alphanumeric characters.
To edit the contents of a specified FICON configuration file, follow these steps:
Command
