Open Systems Management Server

The Open System Management Server (OSMS) is a keyed feature that allows host
control and inband management of the director or switch through a management
application that resides on an open-systems interconnection (OSI) device. This
device is attached to a director or switch port. The device communicates with the
switch or director through Fibre Channel common transport (FC-CT) protocol.

Installation

To install and enable this option, choose the Configure Feature Key option on
the Product Manager Configure menu.
