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 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.
