Configuring Feature Keys
A feature key is a string of alphanumeric characters that validates an
installed feature for use. Each feature key is encoded with a director’s
serial number; therefore, it can be configured only on the director to
which it is assigned.
A feature key is necessary to enable the Open Systems Management Server
(OSMS). This can be acquired only through an RPQ.
To configure a feature key, follow these steps:
1. The first step depends on whether other feature keys are already
installed and enabled:
• If no, proceed to step 2.
• If yes, you must set the director off line:
CAUTION
!
Setting the director off line terminates all Fibre Channel
connections.
