Configuring management style
To configure management style for the director:
1. Set the director off line.
2. Select Product > Management Style.
NOTE: If you change the management style to FICON, all ISL/E-Ports are disabled.
3. Click either the Open Systems or FICON option buttons:
• Use Open Systems management style for all (non-FICON) Fibre Channel environments.
• FICON is the default management style if the FICON Management Server feature is
enabled. In addition, you cannot change the management style 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 in-band director management through a Fibre Connection (FICON) channel.
