FICON Management Server
The FICON Management Server is a keyed feature that allows host control and
inband management of the director or switch through an IBM System/390 or
zSeries 900 Parallel Enterprise Server server attached to a director or switch port.
The server communicates with the switch or director through a FICON channel.
Control of connectivity and statistical product monitoring are provided through a
host-attached console.
Installation

the Element Manager Configure menu.

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

(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 displays.
You must click OK on that dialog box to continue manual configuration.

prohibit a host management program from changing configuration and
connectivity parameters on the switch. In this case, the host program has read
