6 Optional features This chapter provides detailed information on using, administering, and configuring optional HAFM application features through the Element Manager. There are two types of features covered in this chapter: • Keyed features, that require the purchase of feature keys, which are enabled through the Configure Feature Key dialog box in the product’s Element Manager. See ”Configuring the feature key” on page 122 for more information about configuring feature keys.
Preferred path The Preferred path feature enables you to influence the route of data traffic when traversing multiple switches or directors in a fabric. If more than one ISL connects switches in your storage area network (SAN), this feature will be useful for specifying an ISL preference for a particular flow.
To add a new preferred path: TIP: You may need to configure preferred paths on multiple switches or directors to optimize load balancing for an entire path between devices. 1. Select Configure > Preferred Path. The Configure Preferred Paths dialog box is displayed as shown in Figure 66. Figure 75 Configure Preferred Paths dialog box The Configure Preferred Paths dialog box provides the configuration for a single switch’s preferred path.
TIP: You can also enter an exit port number for future or off line environments. 5. Click OK. The new route will be added to the table on the Configure Preferred Paths dialog box to validate the configuration. 6. Select the Enable Preferred Paths check box in the Configure Preferred Paths dialog box to enable the configured preferred paths. When this option is not selected, the preferred path configurations are not enforced, but the configured paths are retained for future use. 7. Click Activate.
Specifying preferred path: example Figure 76 shows a portion of a more complex SAN. In this example, we will do the following: • Specify a path between the Source Device and Destination Device A, going through Switch1, Switch 2, and Switch 3. (In Figure 78 on page 174 the desired data flow is shown as Data Flow 1). • Enter data through port 14 • Exit data through port 45 • Make Switch 3 the destination device To accomplish the example tasks: 1.
The primary choice for data movement will be from the Source Device in port 14 and out port 45 on Switch 1, in port 11 and out port 21 on Switch 2, and through Switch 3 to either Destination Device A or B.
FICON Management Server NOTE: The FICON Management Server feature is available only for the Edge Switch 2/32. This feature is not available on the Edge Switch 2/24. The FICON Management Server is a keyed feature that allows host control and in-band management of the switch through an IBM System/390 or zSeries 900 Parallel Enterprise Server attached to a switch port. The server communicates with the switch through a FICON channel.
FICON Management Server parameters The following provides descriptions of the parameters you can set when you configure the FICON Management Server: • Switch Clock Alert Mode—Click this check box to display a check mark and enable the cock alert mode.
Table 8 Available code pages (continued) Code page name Code page Hexadecimal CPGID France 00297 0129 International #5 00500 01F4 • Missing Interrupt Handler Timeout (MIHPTO)—This dialog box displays supported timeout values. The MIH Timeout is stored on the Switch, but is not used by the Switch. The host uses this value and retrieves the value from the Switch using FICON, Control Unit Port (CUP). The list displays the valid timeout values. These times are consistent with CLI commands.
Configuring the Open Systems Management Server Use these procedures to configure the Open Systems inband management program to function with the director. To configure Open Systems Management Server: 1. Click Configure > Open Systems Management Server > Host Control Prohibited. A check mark is displayed and prohibits the host management program from changing configuration and connectivity parameters on the switch.
• If Fabric Binding is enabled and the switch is on line, you cannot disable Insistent Domain ID. • If Fabric Binding is enabled and the director or switch is off line, you can disable Insistent Domain ID, but this will disable Fabric Binding. • You cannot disable Fabric Binding or Switch Binding if Enterprise Fabric Mode is enabled. However, if Enterprise Fabric Mode is disabled, you can disable Fabric Binding, Switch Binding, or both.
After enabling switch binding, you can prohibit devices and/or switches from connecting with switch ports by removing them from the Membership List in the Switch Binding Membership List dialog box. You allow connections by adding them to the Membership List. You can also add detached nodes and switches as well. Enabling or disabling Switch Binding To enable or disable Switch Binding: 1. Select Configure > Switch Binding > Change State. The Switch Binding State Change dialog box is displayed.
Editing the Switch Membership list To edit the switch membership list: 1. Select Configure > Switch Binding > Edit Membership List. The Switch Binding Membership List dialog box is displayed. The WWNs of devices and/or switches that can currently connect to switch ports are listed in the Switch Membership List panel.
• Switch Binding is not enabled for the same port type as enabled for the Connection Policy in the Switch Binding State Change dialog box. For example, a WWN for a switch attached to an E_Port can be removed if the Switch Binding Connection Policy was enabled to Restrict F_Ports. • The switch or device with the WWN is connected to a port that is blocked. • The switch or device with the WWN is not currently connected to the switch (detached node). 4.
Zoning with Switch Binding enabled Note that SANtegrity Binding has no effect on existing zoning configurations. However, if a device WWN is in a specific zone, but the WWN is not on the Switch Membership List, the device cannot log in to the director or switch port and cannot connect to other devices in the zone when switch binding is enabled. Enterprise Fabric Mode The Enterprise Fabric Mode is available on the Fabrics menu of HAFM if the SANtegrity Binding feature key is installed.
If Enterprise Fabric Mode is enabled, this parameter is automatically enabled and cannot be disabled unless the switch is off line. In this case, disabling Domain RSCNs also disables Enterprise Fabric Mode. • Insistent Domain Identification (ID)—This is a parameter in the Configure Switch Parameters dialog box, available from the Configure menu in the Element Manager.
In particular, you do not need to manually configure ISLs into trunk groups of redundant links where data can be off-loaded. Candidate links for rerouting flow are identified and maintained automatically. This means that flow may be rerouted onto a link that goes to a different adjacent switch, as long as that link is on the least cost/shortest path to the destination domain ID. To install and enable this option, select Configure > Configure Feature Key. See ”Configuring the feature key” on page 122.
Set the Congestion Threshold using one of these methods: • Click the check box under the Use Algorithmic Threshold column to display a value under the Threshold % column. This value is computed by the feature’s rerouting algorithm. If you click this check box, you cannot enter a value into the Threshold % column for the port. NOTE: If you clear the check box, any value that was set in the Threshold % column for the port is redisplayed.
• Click Default Threshold and a default value (1 to 99%) is displayed in the Threshold box. If the default is enabled, you cannot enter values into the box. • Click in the threshold box and enter a value from 1 to 99. 6. Click Activate. Using the pop-up menu options Right-click columns in the Congestion Threshold table to display menu options that globally change values in the column cells.
Flexport feature Edge Switches can be purchased at a discount with all Fibre Channel ports disabled. The optional Flexport feature is a hardware port expansion kit that lets you upgrade switch capacity on demand in eight-port increments. Flexport kits are available to upgrade the: • Edge Switch 2/32 from 16 to 24 ports, or from 24 to 32 ports. • Edge Switch 2/24 from 8 to 16 ports, or from 16 to 24 ports. Each port expansion kit includes eight SFP optical transceivers and upgrade instructions.
