Optional Features FICON Management Server The FICON Management Server is a keyed feature that allows host control and inband management of the director or switch through an IBM System/390 or zSeries 900 Parallel Enterprise Server attached to a director or switch port. The server communicates with the switch or director through a FICON channel. Control of connectivity and statistical product monitoring are provided through a host-attached console. Installation To install and enable this option, choose the Configure Feature Key option under the Product Manager's Configure menu. Use steps under "Configuring Feature Key" on page 143. Configuring the FICON Management Server Use this procedure to configure whether the host is the controlling manager. Note: The optional FICON Management Server feature must be installed in order to perform this procedure. ■ 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 sets 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 director. 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 director. 186 Director Product Manager User Guide
