Physical Planning Considerations 5 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: • Connectivity to an IBM S/390 Parallel Enterprise Server (Generation 5 or Generation 6), with one or more FICON channel adapter cards installed, using System Automation for Operating System/390 (SA OS/390) for native FICON, Version 1.3 or later, plus service listed in the appropriate preventive service planning (PSP) bucket. The PSP bucket upgrade is HKYSA30. The minimum OS/390 level for a director or switch without the control unit port (CUP) feature is Version 2.6, plus service listed in PSP bucket upgrade 2032, device subset 2032OS390G5+. The minimum OS/390 level for a director or switch with the CUP feature is Version 2.1, plus service listed in the preceding PSP bucket for that function. Physical Planning Considerations 5-35
