Configure Operating Mode
Use the procedure in this section to change the switch's operating mode.
Introduction
If the FICON Management Server feature is enabled, the default mode will be set to
S/390. The operating mode cannot be changed to open systems with the FICON
Management Server feature enabled. If the Open Systems Management Server feature
is enabled, the operating mode can be set to either open systems or S/390 mode.
Typically, S/390 mode is used when attaching an IBM S/390 Parallel Enterprise server
to the switch and implementing inband switch management through a Fibre
Connection (FICON) channel.
Use Open Systems mode for all other (non-FICON) Fibre channel environments.
