” on page 136 for more information.) You can select the following
check boxes from this option:
• Enable OSMS—Displays a check mark and enable the Open Systems Management Server.
• Host Control Prohibited—Displays a check mark and prohibit the host management program
from changing configuration and connectivity parameters on the director. In this case, the
host program has read-only access to configuration and connectivity parameters.
•
Features—Displays in the Configure Feature Key dialog box. Use this dialog box to enter a
feature key to enable optional features that you have purchased for the director. (See

•
Date/Time—Displays the Configure Date and Time dialog box. Use this dialog box to set the
current date and time in the switch. When the Periodic Date/Time Synchronization check
box is checked, the Date and Time fields are grayed out (disabled), and the switch date and
time feature is periodically synchronized with the HAFM appliance date and time. When the
Periodic Date/Time Synchronization check box is not checked, you can manually set the
date and time in the dialog box fields.
•
Threshold Alert(s)—Configures threshold alerts for ports. A threshold alert notifies users
when the transmit (Tx) or receive (Rx) throughput reaches specified values for specific switch
ports or port types (E_Ports, F_Ports, or FL_Ports).
Using this option, you can configure:
• A name for the alert.
• A threshold type for the alert (Rx, Tx, or both).
• The state of the alert, (active or inactive).
• Threshold criteria. This includes configuring the threshold as the percent of port traffic
capacity utilized (% utilization). You must also configure the time interval during which the
throughput is measured, and the maximum cumulative time that the throughput percentage
threshold can be exceeded during that time interval before an alert is generated.
•
Open Trunking—Enables the optional Open Trunking feature. This feature monitors the
average data rates of all traffic flows on ISLs (from a receive port to a target domain). It also
adjusts routing tables to reroute data flows from congested links to lightly loaded links, and
periodically optimize bandwidth use. The feature can be installed through the Configure Feature
Key dialog box. See ”
page 193” for more information.
•
Export Configuration Report—Displays the Export Configuration Report dialog box, which
enables you to specify a file name in which to save an American Standard Code for Information

printable format. Note that this file cannot be read back into the Element Manager in order to
set configuration parameters.
