Figure 1–2: Out-of-Band Product Management

The following inband management access methods are provided as options:

•Management through the product’s open-system management server (OSMS) that communicates with an application client. The application resides on an open-systems interconnection (OSI) device attached to a switch port, and communicates using Fibre Channel common transport (FC-CT) protocol. Product operation, port connectivity, zoning, and fabric control are managed through a device-attached console.

•Management through the product’s Fibre Connection (FICON) management server (FMS) that communicates with the IBM System Automation for OS/390 (SA OS/390) operating system. The operating system resides on an IBM System/390 or zSeries 900 Parallel Enterprise Server attached to a director or switch port, and communicates through a FICON channel. Control of connectivity and statistical product monitoring are provided through a host-attached console.
