Placing CUPs in a Zone
To place the CUP in a zone, follow these steps:
Set the default zone to permit for the required VSAN.
Step 1
switch# config t
switch(config)# zone default-zone permit vsan 20
Step 2
Issue the show fcns database command for the required VSAN and obtain the required FICON CUP
WWN.
switch# show fcns database vsan 20
VSAN 20:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
FCID
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
0x0d0d00
0x0dfe00
0x200400
0x200800
0x20fe00
Total number of entries = 5
Note
Step 3
Add the identified FICON:CUP WWN to the zone database.
switch(config)# zone name Zone1 vsan 20
switch(config-zone)# member pwwn 25:00:00:0c:ce:5c:5e:c2

If more than one FICON:CUP WWN exists in this fabric, be sure to add all the FICON:CUP
WWN PWWNs to the required zone. The previous sample output displays multiple
FICON:CUP occurrences to indicate a cascade configuration.
