FICON Express2

Nobody answered, so I jump in :-) AFAIK FiconE2 is compatible with equal/slower speeds of other Ficon-Adapters because it uses auto negotiation for speed. So it does depend on the adapter type(speed) used in your 2105-Controller or intermediate switch(es). Just like an Ethernet-100 network adapter should be able to connect to an Ethernet-10 switch/card. Please examine the full path to the controller or try to be more specific.

Re: FICON Express2
I have looked over the CE's shoulder when he was displaying the disk channel adapters in the service screens on our 2105-800 boxes. The CE can see in his display the speed (1 gb or 2 gb) of each FICON interface. We also have FC interfaces which are PPRC box to box links, and each of those interfaces can be displayed to see what speed they're running at. I wouldn't know how to navigate to these screens myself (they might well require the service password), but I know enough to know what to ask the CE to show me. Bottom line: Ask your CE to show you the speed of each channel interface on your 2105.

FICON Express2
Hi Salah You can verify the type and speed of your FICON-channels thru RMF. Take a look at RMF Monitor III and select the resource channel (Option 12). The type is shown in the G column right to the CHPID. Type (G=)1: FICON Express at 1Gbit/sec Type 2: FICON Express at 2Gbit/sec Type 3: FICON Express2 at 1 Gbit/sec Type 4: FICON Express2 at 2 Gbit/sec Below is a screenshot from our type 2 FICON-Chpids.

Hello List, How can you tell if the FICON Express2 is operating at 2Gbit/Sec speed? They are connected to a 2105 device type.
