McDATA Sphereon 4500 Fabric Switch Installation and Service Manual
Installation Tasks
NOTE: PFE keys are encoded to work with the serial number of the
installed switch only. Record the key to re-install the feature if required.
If the switch fails and must be replaced, obtain new PFE keys from the
McDATA Solution Center (800-752-4572 or [e-mail]).
Please have the serial numbers of the failed and replacement switches,
and the old PFE key number or transaction code.
Task 17: Configure Management Server (Optional)
Perform this procedure to configure the open systems management
server and enable OSI host control of the switch. Implementing host
control requires installation of a SAN management application on the
OSI server. Management applications include Veritas
®
SANPoint™
Control (version 1.0 or later), or Tivoli
®
NetView
®
(version 6.0 or
later). To configure the open systems management server:
1. At the Hardware View, click Configure at top of the view and select
Open Systems Management Server from the pop-up menu. Two
submenu options display:
• Enable OSMS.
• Host Control Prohibited.
2. Enable or disable the open systems management server by
selecting the Enable OSMS option. Check the box to enable the
server. An unchecked box indicates the server is disabled.
3. Allow or prohibit host (OSI server) control by selecting the Host
Control Prohibited option. Check the box to prohibit a host
management program from changing configuration and
connectivity parameters on the switch. The host program has
read-only access to configuration and connectivity parameters.
An unchecked box allows a host management program to change
configuration and connectivity parameters.
