Installing and Configuring the Edge Switch 2/32

•Fiber connection (FICON) management server (FMS)

These features allow open systems or FICON host control of the switch and are mutually exclusive. Only one of these features can be installed at a time.

Features are enabled through a feature key that is encoded to work with the serial number of a unique switch. A feature key is a case-sensitive alphanumeric string with dashes every four characters.

Configure HP Flexport Technology Feature Key

This feature key enables additional port function. The factory default settings enable 16 of the 32 ports, and this feature key enables additional ports. Until this feature is enabled the additional ports will display as Not Installed in the Port Operational State window of the Hardware View and Port List View pages. See Chapter 3 for instructions on configuring this feature key and on upgrading the number of ports.

Configure OSMS Feature Key

NOTE: HP does not support OSMS.

Perform this procedure to configure the OSMS feature key. This feature enables host control of the switch from an open-systems interconnection (OSI) device attached to a switch port. The device communicates with the switch through the Fibre Channel common transport (FC-CT) protocol.

To configure the OSMS feature key:

1.Set the switch offline.

2.At the Hardware View page for the selected switch, choose Configure > Features. The Configure Feature Key dialog box displays, as shown in Figure 2–9.
