46 Getting Started with the McDATA Intrepid FICON Director
5.1 Setting up a FICON Director
After installing the FICON Director and establishing connectivity to the EFC Server (as
described in Chapter 3, “Pre-installation planning” on page 21), only a few initial steps must
be performed.
The following steps are required for each FICON Director, regardless of whether it will be
used in a switched point-to-point configuration or cascaded FICON Director configuration,
and should be based on your planned configuration:

product view screen (which shows all available Directors) double-click the
Director you
want to set up (see Figure 5-1). The next screen is the Hardware view (default display),
which provides all option that can be done for the selected Director. From here select the
Maintenance tab, then from the drop-down select Set Online State . Here you can vary
the Director offline.
Figure 5-2 shows the Hardware view of the Director, and that it is now in an OFFLINE
state.
