Configuring the open systems management server
Use these procedures to configure the Open Systems inband management program to function with
the switch.
The optional Open Systems Management Server feature must be installed in order to perform this
procedure.
To configure Open Systems Management Server, use the following steps:
1. Select Configure > Management Server from the Element Manager window. The Configure
Open Systems Management Server dialog box appears.
2. Enable the management server when you click the Enable Management Server check box. (To
disable the management server, click the check box again to remove the check mark.)
3. Click the check box in the Host Control Prohibited field to display a check mark and to prohibit
the host management program from changing configuration and connectivity parameters on the
switch. In this case, the host program has read-only access to configuration and connectivity
parameters. Click the check box when it contains a check mark. This removes the check mark
and allows a host program to change configuration and connectivity parameters on the switch.
4. To activate changes and close the dialog box, click Activate.
5. If you are finished configuring the switch, you can back up the configuration data.
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.
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 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.
