Host-based management programs manage the switches using CUP protocol by sending commands to the emulated control device implemented by Fabric OS. A Brocade switch or director that supports CUP can be controlled by one or more host-based management programs or director consoles, such as Brocade Web Tools or Brocade Fabric Manager. (Refer to the Fabric Manager Administrator's Guide for information about Fabric Manager.) The director allows control to be shared between host-based management programs and director consoles. NOTE To perform FICON CUP operations, the EGM license must be enabled on the switches using the CUP protocol. Also, the EGM license must be enabled to set Prohibit Dynamic Connectivity Mask (PDCM) parameters. To use FICON CUP, you must do the following: • Install a FICON CUP license on a FICON director. • Enable FICON Management Server (FMS) mode on the FICON director. • Configure CUP attributes (FMS parameters) for the FICON director. You can use Web Tools for all of these tasks. You can also use Web Tools to manage FICON directors (when FMS mode is enabled on those directors) to do the following: • Display the control device state • Display a code page • Manage port connectivity configuration Web Tools Administrator's Guide 243 53-1001772-01
