Click the check mark to remove it and disable this feature. ■ Switch Clock Alert Mode Click this check box to display a check mark and enable clock alert mode. If this is enabled, the following occurs when users set the date and time through the Configure Date and Time dialog box (Configure menu): - If you enable Periodic Date/Time Synchronization, an error message displays indicating that Clock Alert Mode must be cleared to enable automatic synchronization of the date and time. - If you manually set the date and time (Periodic Date/Time Synchronization is not enabled), a confirmation dialog box will display. You must click OK on that dialog box to continue manual configuration. ■ Host Control Prohibited Click this check box to display a check mark and prohibit a host management program from changing configuration and connectivity parameters on the switch. In this case, the host program will have read authorization only and cannot make changes. When the check mark is not displayed, a host program can change configuration and connectivity parameters on the switch. ■ Programmed offline state control Click this check box to display a check mark and enable a host management program to control the switch's offline and online state. When a check mark is not displayed, a host program cannot set the switch online or offline. ■ Active=Saved Click this check box to display a check mark and enable the active=saved function for the IPL address configuration. - If Active=Saved is enabled (check mark), the IPL and the active address configuration are maintained as identical configurations. If a new configuration is activated through the Configure Addresses - "Active" dialog box, that configuration becomes the IPL address configuration. 176 High Availability Fabric Manager User Guide

High Availability Fabric Manager User Guide

Configuring the FICON Management Server

Use this procedure to configure whether the host is the controlling manager.

The optional FICON Management Server feature must be installed in order to

perform this procedure.

■

Enable Management Server

Click this check box to add a check mark and enable the management server.

Click the check mark to remove it and disable this feature.

■

this is enabled, the following occurs when users set the date and time through

the

Configure Date and Time

dialog box (

Configure

menu):

—

If you enable

, an error message

displays indicating that Clock Alert Mode must be cleared to enable

automatic synchronization of the date and time.

—

If you manually set the date and time (

You must click

on that dialog box to continue manual configuration.

■
