Installation Tasks
• FICON management server - These feature supports inband
product management through FMS host control.
• Full volatility - This feature ensures no Fibre Channel frames are
stored after the product is powered off or fails, and a memory
dump file (that possibly includes classified data frames) is not
included as part of the data collection procedure.
• N_Port ID virtualization - This feature allows up to 256 Fibre
Channel addresses to be assigned to an N_Port.
• OpenTrunking - This feature provides dynamic load balancing of
Fibre Channel traffic across multiple ISLs.
• SANtegrity (enhanced) - This feature enhances security in SANs
by combining the functions of SANtegrity authentication
(restricting access to Fibre Channel elements) and SANtegrity
binding (controlling large and mixed fabrics).
After purchasing a feature, obtain the PFE key by following the
enclosed instructions. The key is an alphanumeric string consisting of
uppercase and lowercase characters that must be entered exactly,
including dashes. An example format is:
XxXx-XXxX-xxXX-xX.
Keys are encoded to work only with the serial number of the installed
product. Record the key to re-install the feature if required. If the
product fails and is replaced, obtain new PFE keys from the solution
center (800-752-4572 or support@mcdata.com). Have the serial
numbers of the failed and replacement products, and the old PFE key
number or transaction code. After obtaining a PFE key, install the
feature as follows:
1. Select Upgrade Options from the Configure, Maintenance, or Security
menus at any view. The Maintenance Feature Installation View
displays (Figure 2-97).
Feature status is indicated by a green check mark
D(installed) or
a red X (uninstalled). Flexport Technology status is indicated by
the number of installed ports. Click a feature title in the Feature
panel and a description appears in the Feature Details panel.
