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.
