Configuring director management style

NOTE: To change this value, you must first set the director offline. Be sure to set the director back
online after you change this value.
Perform this procedure to set the director to open systems or FICON management style. This setting
only affects the management style used to manage the director; it does not affect port operation.
OSI devices can communicate with each other if the director is set to FICON management style,
and FICON devices can communicate with each other if the director is set to open systems
management style.
NOTE: If the FICON management server feature is enabled, the default management style is
FICON. Open systems management style cannot be enabled.
To configure the director management style:
1. Ensure the director is set offline. For instructions, see "Setting the director offline" on page 51.
2. Select Product > Management Style.
The Configure Management menu appears.
3. Select the management style as follows:
• Use Open Systems for all other (non-FICON) Fibre Channel environments.
• If the FICON Management Server feature is enabled, the default style is FICON. The
management style cannot be changed to Open Systems with the FICON Management
Server feature enabled.
4. Set the director online. For instructions, see "Setting the director online" on page 50.
