Configuring Management Server Control
This section describes the procedure to configure a management 
server (assuming the Management Server feature is installed). The 
procedures are different for Open Systems and S/390 operating 
modes.
In the current Connectrix release, the Open Systems Management Server 
feature is available only through RPQ.

management program to function with the switch.
The Open Systems Management Server feature must be installed in order to 
perform this procedure.

Management Server on the drop-down menu.

2. If the box next to Host Control Prohibited is checked, the host 
management program cannot change configuration and 
connectivity parameters on the switch. Clicking the checkbox 
when it contains a checkmark removes the checkmark and allows 
write authorization.
3. Click Activate to activate changes and close the dialog box.
4. If you are finished configuring the switch, you can back up the 
configuration data. For more information, refer to Backing Up and 
Restoring the Configuration on page 7-12.
