Product Manager Overview
— Name - Assign a product name. Note that you can set this name as the
nickname for the switch's WWN, using the Set Name as Nickname checkbox.
The nickname then displays instead of the WWN in Product Manager views.
— Description - Assign a unique product description.
— Location - Describe the product's location.
— Contact - Assign a contact either by name, phone number, or e-mail address.
NOTE: This information displays in the identification table at the top of the Hardware View and
in the HAFM Product View, if the Product View is configured to display names.
Operating Mode
NOTE: The switch must be offline before you change operating modes.
Select this option to display the Configure Operating Mode dialog box. Use this
dialog box to configure either S/390 or open systems mode, as well as
interoperability mode options. Open system or S/390 modes allow you to use
Product Manager menu options, dialog boxes, and features that are the most
useful when attaching to either IBM S/390 Enterprise servers or open systems
devices. If you enable open systems mode, you can then select the appropriate
interoperability mode to work with the multiswitch fabric. Refer to
Operating Mode on page 3-2
NOTE: If the FICON Management Server feature is enabled, the default mode will be S/390.
You can only enable one Management Server feature at a time, either FICON Management
Server or Open Systems Management server.
Operating Parameters
Select this option to display the Configure Operating Parameters dialog box for
setting Fibre Channel operating parameters. In this dialog box, you can set
buffer-to-buffer credit (BB_Credit) from 1 to 60 (default is 16). You can also set
the resource allocation time-out value (R_A_TOV) and error detect time-out
value (E_D_TOV) in tenth-of-a-second increments, as well as other fabric
operating parameters, such as preferred domain ID (1 to 31) and switch priority
level (Principal, Default, or Never Principal). You must take the switch offline
through the Set Online State dialog box to configure these parameters. In addition,
you can also enable the rerouting delay feature. Refer to
Parameters on page 3-4
