Configuring the Feature Key
A feature key is a string of alphanumeric characters that validates an
installed feature for use. Each feature key is encoded with a director’s
serial number; therefore, it can be configured only on the director to
which it is assigned.
A feature key is necessary to enable the Open Systems Management Server
(OSMS). This can be acquired only through an RPQ.
To configure a feature key, follow these steps:
1. Set the switch off line:
CAUTION

Setting the director off line terminates all Fibre Channel
connections.
