Physical Planning Considerations Inband Management Access (Optional) Inband management console access (through a Fibre Channel port) is provided by enabling user-specified features that allow Open Systems or FICON host control of a director or switch. The features are mutually exclusive; only one can be installed at a time. Features are enabled through a feature key encoded to work with the serial number of a unique director or switch. A feature key is a case-sensitive alphanumeric string with dashes every four characters. When the Open Systems management server (OSMS) feature key is enabled at a Product 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 HP website. SAN High Availability Planning Guide 129
