Chapter 4. Setting up the EFC Server environment 37
Connect the CTP, and the EFC Server to the Ethernet hub (known as the service LAN), using
UTP cables with RJ-45 connectors.
If remote access to the EFC Server is also required, then we suggest using the configuration
depicted in Figure 3-1 on page 24.
Step 5. Defining EFC Manager-to-FICON Director communication
The Director has to be defined in EFC Server to initiate communication between the server
and Director. Each Director, which should be managed by the server, has to be defined. The
EFC Server supports up to 48 Directors.
Click
Product - New to define a new Director to the EFC Server. In the New Product panel
(shown in Figure 4-2) type in the IP address of the Director, then select the product type. Click
OK to finish.
Repeat above steps for each Director you want to define on this EFC Server.
Figure 4-2 Defining new Director
A new icon appears in the EFC Manager for each Director defined via the New Product panel.
In the example in Figure 4-3 two Directors with IP address 10.1.8.1 and 10.1.8.2 are defined
to the EFC Manager.
Figure 4-3 Directors added to EFC Manager
If connecting a Director to the EFC Manager was unsuccessful, recheck the current IP
address of the Director by selecting the Network Address option. Also, check the physical
Ethernet connection of the Director and the EFC Server.
Adding Directors to the EFC Manager only means the Directors are managed by this EFC
Manager. Configuring the Directors and a fabric is discussed in Chapter 5, “Configuring the
FICON Director” on page 45.
Step 6. Verifying the Director firmware version
