When you change the speed to 2 Gb/sec, all ports on Fibre Channel port
module (FPM) cards go to an inactive state. A warning/confirmation message
also displays, allowing you to continue the operation or cancel. Only universal
port module (UPM) cards allow 1 Gb/sec and 2 Gb/sec operation.
Director firmware must support the 2 Gb/sec data rate. If you set the speed to
2 Gb/sec and the firmware only supports 1 Gb/sec, an error message displays
stating that the feature is not supported and providing the firmware level that
will support the higher speed.
Changing the director speed to 2 Gb/sec with any 1 Gb/s FPM cards installed
To change this value, you must first set the director offline. Choose Set Online
If you change the Management Style to FICON, all ISL/E-Ports are disabled.
If the FICON Management Server feature is enabled, the default management
style will be FICON. The management style cannot be changed to Open
Systems with the FICON Management Server feature enabled. Typically,
FICON management style is used when attaching an IBM FICON Parallel
Enterprise or IBM zSeries server to the director and implementing inband
director management through a Fibre Connection (FICON) channel.
Use Open Systems management style for all other (non-FICON) Fibre
Channel environments.
