Configuring Management Server Control
This section describes the procedure to configure a management
server (assuming the Management Server feature is installed). The
procedures are different for Open Systems and FICON management
styles.
Open Systems
Management
Server
In the current Connectrix release, the Open Systems Management Server
feature is available only through RPQ.
The Open Systems Management Server (OSMS) is a keyed feature
that allows host control and inband management of the switch
through a management application that resides on an open-systems
interconnection (OSI) device. This device, attached to a switch port,
communicates with the switch or through Fibre Channel common
transport (FC-CT) protocol.
The Open Systems Management Server feature must be installed in order to
perform this procedure.
To configure the Open Systems Management Server:
1. Click Configure on the Product Manager menu bar and select
Management Server
, Open Systems Management Server from
the drop-down menus.
This displays the window in Figure 5-15.

2. If the box next to Host Control Prohibited is checked, the host
management program cannot change configuration and
connectivity parameters on the director. Clicking the checkbox
when it contains a checkmark removes the checkmark and allows
write authorization.
3. Click Activate to activate changes and close the dialog box.
