logical switches in a Virtual Fabric. The msPlatShow command displays all platforms registered in a
Virtual Fabric.
Enabling platform services
When FCS policy is enabled, the msplMgmtActivate command can be issued only from the primary
FCS switch.
The execution of the msplMgmtActivate command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be
in place.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Enter the msCapabilityShow command to verify that all switches in the fabric support the MS
platform service; otherwise, the next step fails.
3. Enter the msplMgmtActivate command, as in the following example.
switch:admin> msplmgmtactivate
Request to activate MS Platform Service in progress......
*Completed activating MS Platform Service in the fabric!
Disabling platform services
Use the following procedure to disable platform services:
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Enter the msplMgmtDeactivate command.
3. Enter y to confirm the deactivation, as in the following example.
switch:admin> msplmgmtdeactivate
MS Platform Service is currently enabled.
This will erase MS Platform Service configuration
information as well as database in the entire fabric.
Would you like to continue this operation? (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
Request to deactivate MS Platform Service in progress......
*Completed deactivating MS Platform Service in the fabric!
Management server database
You can control access to the management server database.
An access control list (ACL) of WWN addresses determines which systems have access to the
management server database. The ACL typically contains those WWNs of host systems that are
running management applications.
If the list is empty (the default), the management server is accessible to all systems connected in-band
to the fabric. For more access security, you can specify WWNs in the ACL so that access to the
management server is restricted to only those WWNs listed.
NOTE
The management server is logical switch-capable. All management server features are supported within
a logical switch.
