Installing and Configuring the Director 2/64
NOTE: Changing the switch speed to 2 Gb/s with any 1 Gb/s FPM cards installed will cause the
following warning/confirmation message to display: “All FPM ports will be held
inactive while the switch is configured to 2 Gb/sec speed. Do you want
to continue?”
Operating Mode
NOTE: To change this value, you must first set the director offline. Choose Set Online State
from the Maintenance menu to display the Set Online State dialog box, then click Set Offline.
Be sure to set the director back online after you change this value.
Click either S/390 or Open Systems:
• If the FICON Management Server feature is enabled, the default mode will be
S/390. The operating mode cannot be changed to Open Systems with the FICON
Management Server feature enabled. Typically, S/390 mode is used when
attaching an IBM S/390 Parallel Enterprise or IBM zSeries server to the switch
and implementing inband switch management through a Fibre Connection
(FICON) channel.
•Use Open Systems mode for all other (non-FICON) Fibre Channel environments.
Configure Fabric Operating Parameters
Use procedures in this section to set parameters on the director for fabric operation
through the Configure Fabric Parameters dialog box. These operating parameters
are stored in NV-RAM on the director.
1. Verify that the director is set offline. For instructions, refer to the “Set the Director
Offline” on page 2–43.
CAUTION: Setting the director offline terminates all Fibre Channel connections.
2. Choose Configure > Operating Parameters > Fabric Parameters from the
Product Manager window. The Configure Fabric Parameters dialog box
displays, as shown in Figure 2–31.
