Installing Feature Keys

Perform this procedure to install one or more of the following optional features:

OSMS — The Open Systems Management Server feature allows open
systems host control of the product.

FICON Management Server — The FICON Management Server feature
allows host control and inband management of the director or switch through
an IBM System/390

or zSeries 900 Parallel Enterprise Server server attached

to a director or switch port. The server communicates with the switch or
director through a FICON channel.

Flexport — A Flexport switch is delivered at a discount with only a portion
of the switch’s ports enabled. When additional port capacity is required, the
remaining ports are enabled through purchase of this feature. Ports are
enabled in increments of eight except for the Edge Switch 2/12, for which
ports are enabled in groups of four.

Fabric Capable — An Edge Switch 2/12 cannot participate in a fabric unless
this feature is purchased. When this feature is installed, ports on the Edge
Switch 2/12 can be defined as E_Ports, G_Ports, or GX_ports. (Installation of
this feature also changed the BB_Credit settings on ports from 5 to 12.)

SANtegrity Binding — This feature enhances security in SANs, which is
valuable in SANs that contain a large or heterogeneous group of fabrics and
attached devices.

Open Trunking — This feature enhances efficiency in the use of redundant
ISLs between neighboring switches by means of load balancing. This
prevents traffic from becoming congested on an ISL.

After purchasing a feature, obtain the required feature key from the web site to
which the feature documentation directs you. A feature key is an alphanumeric
string consisting of both uppercase and lowercase characters. The total number of
characters may vary depending on keys and serial number. The feature key is
case-sensitive and must be entered exactly, including dashes.

Feature keys use a format similar to the following:

XxXx-XXxX-xxXX-xX.

Note:

You must be logged in with Administrator-level rights to install feature keys.
