Table 10 FMS mode paramenter descriptions Parameter Programmed Offline State Control Active=Saved Mode Description This parameter controls whether host programming is allowed to set the switch offline. The parameter is enabled by the hardware after system installation, and can be reset by Advanced Web Tools. This parameter controls the IPL file update. The IPL file saves port connectivity attributes and port names. After a switch reboot or power cycle, the switch reads the IPL file and actives its contents as default configuration. When this mode is enabled, activating a configuration saves a copy to the IPL configuration file. All changes made to the active connectivity attributes or port names by host programming or alternate managers are saved in this IPL file. This mode keeps the current active configuration persistent across switch reboots and power cycles. You cannot directly modify the IPL file or save a file as an IPL file. When this mode is disabled, the IPL file is not altered for either new configuration activation or any changes made on the current active configuration. This mode is set as enabled by the hardware after system installation, and can be reset by Advanced Web Tools. NOTE: When FMS mode is enabled and the Active=Saved mode is disabled, you can enable and disable ports, but the setting is not persistent. When the Active=Saved mode is enabled, you can enable and disable ports and the setting is persistent. Alternate Control Prohibited This parameter determines whether alternate managers are allowed to modify port connectivity. Enabling this mode prohibits alternate manager control of port connectivity; otherwise, alternate managers can manage port connectivity. This parameter is enabled by the hardware after system installation, and can be reset by Advanced Web Tools. User Alert Mode This mode controls director console behavior for alerts. Enabling this mode prompts the director consoles to display a warning whenever you attempt an action that will change switch parameters. When you disable this mode, no warning is displayed. In this case, in which Advanced Web Tools is the director console, warning messages are displayed by Advanced Web Tools regardless of the setting of the mode, since Advanced Web Tools always displays warning messages when you apply a change to a switch that changes mode. This mode is always read-only in Advanced Web Tools. Each time that the switch is powered on, the mode is reset to disabled. Director Clock Alert Mode This mode controls behavior for attempts to set the switch timestamp clock through the director console. When it is enabled, the director console (Advanced Web Tools, in this case) displays warning indications when the switch timestamp is changed by a user application. When it is disabled, you can activate a function to set the timestamp clock. There is no indication for timestamp clock setting. This mode is set as disabled by the hardware after system installation, and can be reset by Advanced Web Tools. Host Control Prohibited This mode determines whether host programming allows modifying port connectivity. Enabling this mode prohibits host programming control of port connectivity; otherwise, host programming can manage port connectivity. This mode is set as disabled by the hardware after system installation. and can be reset by Advanced Web Tools. Fabric OS 5.x Advanced Web Tools administrator guide 115
