Configuring the Director

Director Product Manager User Guide
■
When you change the speed to 2 Gb/sec, all ports on Fibre Channel port
module (FPM) cards go to an inactive state. A warning/confirmation message
also displays, allowing you to continue the operation or cancel. Only universal
port module (UPM) cards allow 1 Gb/sec and 2 Gb/sec operation.
■
Director firmware must support the 2 Gb/sec data rate. If you set the speed to
2 Gb/sec and the firmware only supports 1 Gb/sec, an error message displays
stating that the feature is not supported and providing the firmware level that
will support the higher speed.
At the Director Speed field, choose 1 Gb/sec or 2 Gb/sec to select the speed of
Fibre Channel operation.
Note:
Changing the director speed to 2 Gb/sec with any 1 Gb/s FPM cards installed
will cause the following warning/confirmation message to display: “
All FPM ports
will be held inactive while the director is configured to 2
Gb/sec speed. Do you want to continue?
”
Management Style
Note:
To change this value, you must first set the director offline. Choose Set Online
State from the Maintenance menu to display the Set Online State dialog box, then click
Set Offline. Be sure to set the director back online after you change this value.
Note:
If you change the Management Style to FICON, all ISL/E-Ports are disabled.
Click either the FICON or Open Systems radio buttons:
■
If the FICON Management Server feature is enabled, the default management
style will be FICON. The management style cannot be changed to Open
Systems with the FICON Management Server feature enabled. Typically,
FICON management style is used when attaching an IBM FICON Parallel
Enterprise or IBM zSeries server to the director and implementing inband
director management through a Fibre Connection (FICON) channel.
■
Use
Open Systems
management style for all other (non-FICON) Fibre
Channel environments.
