Physical Planning Considerations 5 After purchasing a feature, obtain the required PFE key through your McDATA marketing representative. A PFE key is encoded to work with the serial number of a unique director or fabric switch and is an alphanumeric string consisting of both uppercase and lowercase characters. The total number of characters may vary. The PFE key is case sensitive and must be entered exactly, including dashes. The following is an example of the format: XxXx-XXxX-xxXX-xX. Inband Management Access OSMS FMS Inband management console access (through a Fibre Channel port) is provided by enabling user-specified features that allow OSMS or FICON (FMS) host control of a director or fabric switch. The features can be simultaneously installed and enabled. When the OSMS feature key is enabled at the Element Manager application, host control and management of the director or switch is provided through an open-systems interconnection (OSI) device attached to a product port. When implementing inband product management through an OSI connection, plan for the following minimum host requirements: • Connectivity to an OSI server with a product-compatible host bus adapter (HBA) that communicates through the Fibre Channel common transport (FC-CT) protocol. • Installation of a storage network 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). For information about product-compatible HBAs, third-party SAN management applications, and minimum OSI server specifications, refer to the McDATA website at www.mcdata.com. When the FMS feature key is enabled at the Element Manager application, host control and management of the director or switch is provided through a server attached to a product port. The server communicates with the product through a FICON channel. When implementing inband product management through a FICON channel, plan for the following minimum host requirements: Physical Planning Considerations 5-35
