Inband
Management
The following inband management access methods are provided for
directors and fabric switches as options:
• Management through the product's open-system management
server (OSMS) that communicates with an application client. The
application resides on an open-systems interconnection (OSI)
device attached to a director or switch port, and communicates
using Fibre Channel common transport (FC-CT) protocol.
Product operation, port connectivity, zoning, and fabric control
are managed through a device-attached console. Refer to
for information.
NOTE: The Intrepid 10000 Director and SAN routers do not support
out-of-band management through the OSMS.
• Management through the product's fibre connection (FICON)
management server (FMS) that communicates with either the:
®
— IBM System Automation for OS/390™ (SA OS/390™)
operating system resident on a System/390
Enterprise Server™ - Generation 5 or Generation 6.
®
— IBM z/OS operating system resident on an eServer™
®
zSeries 800 (z800), zSeries 900 (z900), or zSeries 990 (z990)
processor.
The server is attached to a director or switch port, and
communicates through a FICON channel. Control of connectivity
and statistical product monitoring are provided through a
host-attached console. Refer to
NOTE: Sphereon 4300, 4400, and 4500 Fabric Switches and SAN routers
do not support out-of-band management through FMS.
