General Information
procedures, you must have enabled either the FICON
Management Server or Open Systems Management Server
through the Configure Feature Key dialog box.
Features
Displays the Configure Feature Key dialog box. Use this dialog box
to enter a feature key to enable optional features that you have
purchased for the switch.
Date and Time
Select this option to display the Configure Date and Time dialog
box. Use this option to set the current date and time in the switch.
When the Periodic Date/Time Synchronization check box is checked,
the Date and Time fields are unavailable, and the Management
Server date and time periodically synchronizes the switch date
and time. If the Periodic Date/Time Synchronization check box is not
checked, you can set the date and time in the dialog box fields
manually.
Threshold Alert(s)
Select this option to configure threshold alerts for ports. A
threshold alert notifies users when the transmit (Tx) or receive
(Rx) throughput reaches specified values for specific switch ports
or port types (E_Ports or F_Ports). Using this option, you can
configure:
— A name for the alert.
— A threshold type for the alert (Rx, Tx, or both).
— Active or inactive state of the alert.
— Threshold criteria. This includes configuring the threshold as
the percent of port traffic capacity utilized (% utilization). You
must also configure the time interval during which the
throughput is measured and the maximum cumulative time
that the throughput percentage threshold can be exceeded
during this time interval before an alert is generated.
Open Trunking
Select this option to enable the optional OpenTrunking feature.
This feature monitors the average data rates of all traffic flows on
ISLs (from a receive port to a target domain) and periodically
adjusts routing tables to reroute data flows from congested links
to lightly loaded links and optimize bandwidth use. The feature
can be installed through the Configure Feature Key dialog box.
