Configuring the FICON Management Server

Use this procedure to configure whether the host is the controlling manager.

The optional FICON Management Server feature must be installed in order to
perform this procedure.

Enable Management Server

Click this check box to add a check mark and enable the management server.
Click the check mark to remove it and disable this feature.

Switch Clock Alert Mode

Click this check box to display a check mark and enable clock alert mode. If
this is enabled, the following occurs when users set the date and time through
the Configure Date and Time dialog box (Configure menu):

— If you enable Periodic Date/Time Synchronization, an error message

displays indicating that Clock Alert Mode must be cleared to enable
automatic synchronization of the date and time.

— If you manually set the date and time (Periodic Date/Time

Synchronization is not enabled), a confirmation dialog box will display.
You must click OK on that dialog box to continue manual configuration.

Host Control Prohibited

Click this check box to display a check mark and prohibit a host management
program from changing configuration and connectivity parameters on the
switch. In this case, the host program will have read authorization only and
cannot make changes. When the check mark is not displayed, a host program
can change configuration and connectivity parameters on the switch.

Programmed offline state control

Click this check box to display a check mark and enable a host management
program to control the switch’s offline and online state. When a check mark is
not displayed, a host program cannot set the switch online or offline.

Active=Saved

Click this check box to display a check mark and enable the active=saved
function for the IPL address configuration.

— If Active=Saved is enabled (check mark), the IPL and the active address

configuration are maintained as identical configurations. If a new
configuration is activated through the Configure Addresses - “Active”
dialog box, that configuration becomes the IPL address configuration.
