HP XP7 High Performance FICON(R) Connectivity Software
Overview
Models
High Performance FICON for system z or zHPF is an enhancement of the FICON channel architecture; which
also means compatibility with certain standards such as Fibre Channel Physical and Signaling standard
(FC-FS), Fibre Channel Switch Fabric and Switch Control Requirements (FC-SW), and Fibre Channel SingleByte-4 (FC-SB-4) standards. Enhancements have been made to the z/Architecture® and the FICON
interface architecture to deliver improvements for online transaction processing (OLTP) workloads. zHPF
is implemented exclusively in System z10. When High Performance FICON is exploited by the FICON
channel, the z/OS operating system, and the control unit; the FICON channel overhead will be reduced. This
is achieved by simplification of the protocol, and by reducing the number of information units processed,
resulting in more efficient use of the fibre link.
