Configuring management style
To configure management style for the director, use the following steps:
1. Click Product > Management Style in the Element Manager window.
NOTE: To change this value, you must first set the director offline.
NOTE: If you change the management style to FICON, all ISL/E-Ports are disabled.
2. Click either the Open Systems or FICON option buttons:
• Use Open Systems management style for all (non-FICON) Fibre Channel environments.
• If the FICON Management Server feature is enabled, the default management style will be
FICON. The management style cannot be changed to Open Systems with the FICON
Management Server feature enabled. Typically, FICON management style is used when
attaching an IBM FICON Parallel Enterprise or IBM zSeries server to the director and
implementing inband director management through a Fibre Connection (FICON) channel.
