Perform this procedure to configure the FICON management server and enable FICON host control of the switch. Implementing host control requires installation of System Automation for Operating System/390 (SA OS/390), version 1.2 or later.

To configure the FICON management server:

1.At the Hardware View page for the selected switch, choose Configure > Management Server. The Configure FICON Management Server dialog box displays, as shown in Figure 2–16.

Figure 2–16: Configure FICON Management server dialog box

2.Enable or disable the following options by clicking the associated check box:

•Switch Clock Alert Mode—this option enables or disables a warning message that displays if the switch is set to periodically synchronize date and time with the HAFM server (see “Task 11: Set Switch Date and Time” on page 2–21). Synchronizing date and time with the HAFM server may conflict with the date and time set from the attached host. If a check mark displays, clock alert mode is enabled.

•Programmed offline state control—this option enables or disables host (S/390 or zSeries 900) ability to set the switch offline state. If a check mark displays, control is enabled.

•Host Control Prohibited—this option allows or prohibits host (S/390 or zSeries 900) control of the switch. If a check mark displays, host control is prohibited.
