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.

device attachment to switches. These features are enabled by purchasing a feature
key, then enabling the key through the Configure Feature Key dialog box.

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

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.
