E/OS versus E/OSn and E/OSi - Management-Related Differences (Continued)
Table B-6
Feature
FICON Management FMS is auto-enabled upon PFE
Server (FMS) PFE key installation. Management style
install and enable automatically changes to
behavior FICON.
Saving a user-defined Saving a user-defined PDCM
PDCM array through array through EFCM supported.
EFCM
Saving a PDCM array No limitation. When a
after reset (single CTP single-CTP card director is reset,
card) the PDCM array is saved.
Full volatility support Full volatility supported through
PFE key.
Port configuration Configuration set based on last
behavior as a function inserted port card type (FPM,
of port module type UPM, or XPM). If a new port card
(directors) is different in type from the last
inserted card, then all port-level
parameters for the new card are
reset to default. Parameters
include port type, transmission
speed, BB_Credit, block or
unblock, preferred path, allow or
prohibit, and port swap settings.
Display of Fibre Fibre Channel link speed always
Channel link speed displayed, regardless of switch
state.
Port speed Ports are automatically set
configuration offline or offline and not required
to be blocked to set transmission
speed.
E/OS 7.0
When PFE is installed, the user
must explicitly enable FMS.
Management style does not
automatically change to FICON.
Cannot save a user-defined
PDCM array through EFCM.
When Active = Saved is not set
and a single-CTP card Intrepid
10000 Director is reset, the
PDCM array is not saved. This
does not apply to a redundant
CTP card configuration.
Full volatility always supported
because the Intrepid 10000
Director does not persistently
store data frame contents on any
FRU.
Configuration set independent of
port card type, except
transmission speed and
BB_Credit are configured and
stored independently for 2.1250
and 10.2000 Gbps ports (user
specifies port number and type).
Port-level parameters are not
reset to default when a new port
card is inserted.
Fibre Channel link speed not
displayed when Intrepid 10000
Director is disabled.
Ports required to be blocked
(offline) to set transmission
speed.
E/OSn 6.0
FMS PFE key not supported.
FICON management style (with
associated PDCM array) not
supported.
FICON management style (with
associated PDCM array) not
supported.
Full volatility not supported.
Port configuration behavior as a
function of port module type not
applicable.
Configured link speed displayed
at Element Manager application
main window and actual link
speed displayed at Port
Configuration dialog box,
regardless of switch state.
Ports are not required to be set
offline to set transmission speed.
