Launching FCR configuration
Use FCR Configuration to launch the FC Routing module, which enables you to share devices
between fabrics without merging the fabrics. You can open the FC Routing module directly from the
Management application. For more information about FC Routing, refer to the Web Tools
Administrator’s Guide.
The FCR Configuration option is available only for the following devices with Fabric OS 5.0 or later:
• Fabric OS extension switch
• Fabric OS Directors configured with an extension blade
• Fabric OS 1U, 8 Gbps 40-port FC Switch (with Integrated Routing license)
• Fabric OS 2U, 8 Gbps 80-port FC Switch (with Integrated Routing license)
• Fabric OS directors configured with a FC 8 Gbps 16-port Blade (with Integrated Routing license)
• Fabric OS directors configured with a FC 8 Gbps 32-port Blade (with Integrated Routing
license)
• Fabric OS directors configured with a FC 8 Gbps 48-port Blade (with Integrated Routing
license)
Note that on the FC 8 Gbps 48-port Blade, the Shared Area ports, for example, 16-47, cannot
be configured as EX_ports
NOTE
You must have Element Manager - Product Administration privileges for the selected device to
launch Web Tools. If you do not have Element Manager - Product Administration privileges, you will
need to enter those credentials to launch Web Tools. For more information about privileges, refer to
“User Privileges” on page 1265.
On the Connectivity Map, right-click the Fabric OS device you want to configure and select Element
Manager > Router Admin.
OR
1. Select a Fabric OS device.
2. Select Configure > Element Manager > Router Admin.
The FC Routing module displays.
NOTE
When you close the Management application client, any Web Tools instance launched from the
clients closes as well.
