Features
This option displays the Configure Feature Key dialog box. Use this dialog box to enter a feature key
to enable optional features that you have purchased for the director. (See ” Configuring feature
key ” on page 113 for more information.)
Date and Time
Select this option to display the Configure Date and Time dialog box. Use this option to set the
current date and time in the director. When the Periodic Date/Time Synchronization check box is
checked, the Date and Time fields are grayed out (disabled), and the HAFM appliance’s date and
time periodically synchronizes the director date and time. If the Periodic Date/Time Synchronization
check box is not checked, you can set the date and time in the dialog box fields manually.
Threshold Alert(s)
Select this option to configure threshold alerts for ports. A threshold alert notifies users when the
transmit (Tx) or receive (Rx) throughput reaches specified values for specific director ports or port
types (E_Ports or F_Ports). Using this option, you can configure:
• A name for the alert.
• A threshold type for the alert (Rx, Tx, or both).
• Active or inactive state of the alert.
• Threshold criteria. This includes configuring the threshold as the percent of port traffic capacity
utilized (% utilization). You must also configure the time interval during which the throughput is
measured and the maximum cumulative time that the throughput percentage threshold can be
exceeded during this time interval before an alert is generated.
