Configuring the Switch

Configuring the Operating Mode

This section describes the procedure to set the switch’s operating

mode, to either Open Systems or S/390. Typically, S/390 mode is

used when attaching an IBM S/390 Parallel Enterprise Server

™

to the

switch and implementing inband switch management through a

Fibre Connection (FICON) channel.

Use Open Systems

mode for all other (non-FICON) Fibre channel

environments.

To set the operating mode, follow these steps:

1. Set the switch off line:

CAUTION

Setting the switch off line terminates all Fibre Channel

connections.

a. Click Maintenance on the Product Manager menu bar and

select Set Online State on the drop-down menu.
