Open Systems Management Server
Note: Open Systems Management Server (OSMS) is available only for the Edge
Switch 2/32. OSMS is not available on the Edge Switch 2/24.
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 under
the Element Manager’s Configure menu.
Configuring the Open Systems Management Server
Use these procedures to configure the Open Systems Inband Management
program to function with the switch.
To configure the Open Systems Management Server, use the following steps:
1. Click Configure > Management Server.
Two submenu options display, as shown in step 2 and step 3 :
2. Click Enable the Open System Management Server. (To disable the open
systems management server, click the check box again to remove the check
mark.)
3. Click Host Control Prohibited to display a check mark and prohibit the host
management program from changing configuration and connectivity
parameters on the switch. In this case, the host program has read-only access
to configuration and connectivity parameters. Clicking the check box when it
contains a check mark removes the check mark and allows a host program to
change configuration and connectivity parameters on the switch.
4. Click Activate to implement changes and close the dialog box.
5. If you are finished configuring the switch, back up the configuration data. For
more information, see “ Backup and Restore Configuration ” on page 168.
