Configuring Management Style
To configure management style for the director, use the following steps:
1. Click Product > Management Style in the Element Manager window.
Note: To change this value, you must first set the director offline.
Note: If you change the management style to FICON, all ISL/E-Ports are disabled.
2. Click either the Open Systems or FICON option buttons:
■ Use Open Systems management style for all (non-FICON) Fibre Channel
environments.
■ If the FICON Management Server feature is enabled, the default
management style will be FICON. The management style cannot be
changed to Open Systems with the FICON Management Server feature
enabled. Typically, FICON management style is used when attaching an
IBM FICON Parallel Enterprise or IBM zSeries server to the director and
implementing inband director management through a Fibre Connection
(FICON) channel.
