Optional Features

This chapter provides detailed information on using, administering, and
configuring optional HAFM features through HAFM applications. There are two
types of features covered in this chapter:

“Keyed” features, requiring feature keys to be purchased and enabled through
the Configure Feature Key dialog box in the product’s Product Manager
application.

Features not requiring feature keys themselves, but requiring that specific
keyed features be enabled before they can be accessed through HAFM or
Product Manager applications.

FICON Management Server

The FICON Management Server is a keyed feature that 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.
Control of connectivity and statistical product monitoring are provided through a
host-attached console.

Installation

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