NOTE: PFE keys are encoded to work with the serial number of the
installed switch only. Record the key to re-install the feature if required.
If the switch fails and must be replaced, obtain new PFE keys from IBM.
Please have the serial numbers of the failed and replacement switches,
and the old PFE key number or transaction code.
Task 17: Configure management server (optional)
Perform this task to configure the open systems management server
or FICON management server. Only one management server can be
configured at a time.
Configure OSMS
Perform this procedure to configure the open systems management
server and enable OSI host control of the switch. Implementing host
control requires installation of a SAN management application on the
OSI server. Management applications include Veritas
®
SANPoint™
Control (version 1.0 or later), or Tivoli
®
NetView
®
(version 6.0 or
later).
The Open System 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 is attached to a switch port.
The device communicates with the switch through Fibre Channel
common transport (FC-CT) protocol.
