Configuring FMS mode parameters
1. Click a FICON-enabled switch from the Fabric Tree.
2. Open the Switch Administration window as described on page 29.
3. Click the FICON CUP tab.
The FICON CUP tabbed page displays, with the FICON Management Server subtabbed page in
front (see Figure 107 on page 232). All attributes on this tab are read-only until FMS mode is
enabled.
4. To enable or disable an FMS mode parameter, click the check box next to the parameter. A
marked check box means that the parameter is enabled. You cannot configure the User Alert
Mode parameter in Web Tools, as it is read-only.
Displaying code page information
The Code Page field identifies the language used to exchange information between the FICON
director and Host Programming. It is a read-only field in Web Tools, as it is set by Host Programming
only. When FMS mode is disabled, the code page is displayed as unavailable.
1. Click a FICON-enabled switch from the Fabric Tree.
2. Open the Switch Administration window as described on page 29.
Alternate Control
Prohibited
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 set as enabled by the hardware after system installation, and can be reset by
Web Tools.
User Alert 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 Web Tools is the director console, warning messages are
displayed by Web Tools regardless of the setting of the parameter, since Web Tools always
displays warning messages when you apply a change to a switch that changes parameters.
This parameter is always read-only in Web Tools. Each time that the switch is powered on, the
parameter is reset to disabled.
Director Clock
Alert Mode
Controls behavior for attempts to set the switch timestamp clock through the director console.
When it is enabled, the director console (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 automatically set the timestamp clock. There is no indication for
timestamp clock setting.
This parameter is set as disabled by the hardware after system installation, and can be reset
by Web Tools.
Host Control
Prohibited
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 parameter is set as disabled by the hardware after system installation. and can be reset
by Web Tools.
