Product Management
42 SAN High Availability Planning Guide
■ Management through the product’s Fibre Connection (FICON) management
server (FMS) that communicates with one of the following:
—IBM
®
System Automation for OS/390™ (SA OS/390™) operating
system resident on a System/390
®
(S/390) Parallel Enterprise Server™ -
Generation 5 or Generation 6.
—IBM z/OS
®
operating system resident on an eServer™ zSeries
®
800
(z800), zSeries 900 (z900), or zSeries 990 (z990) processor.
The server is attached to a director or switch port and communicates through a
FICON channel. Control of connectivity and statistical product monitoring
are provided through a host-attached console. Refer to “Inband Management
Access (Optional)” on page 145 for information.
Figure 14 illustrates inband product management. In the figure, the managed
product is a Director 2/64.
