SANtegrity Features
SANtegrity includes a set of features that enhance security in SANs (Storage Area
Networks) that contain a large and mixed group of fabrics and attached devices.
Through these features, you can allow or prohibit switch attachment to fabrics and
device attachment to switches. These features are enabled by purchasing a feature
key, then enabling the key through the Configure Feature Key dialog box. For
general instructions in enabling a feature key, see “
Configuring a Feature Key ” on
page 131.
SANtegrity Binding features include:
■ Fabric Binding
■ Switch Binding
Enterprise Fabric Mode - Although this is not a keyed feature the SANtegrity
Fabric Binding and Switch Binding must be installed before you can use the
Enterprise Fabric Mode function through the HAFM Fabrics menu.
Fabric Binding
This feature is managed through the Fabric Binding option, available through the
Fabrics menu in HAFM when the Fabrics tab is selected. Using Fabric Binding,
you can allow specific switches to attach to specific fabrics in the SAN. This
provides security from accidental fabric merges and potential fabric disruption
when fabrics become segmented because they cannot merge.
