SANtegrity Binding Planning Considerations

Fabric and switch binding enhance data security by controlling and monitoring
director, fabric switch, and device connectivity. In fact, installation of the
SANtegrity Binding feature is a prerequisite for configuring a high-integrity,
FICON-cascaded SAN.
Use of the SANtegrity Binding and zoning features in conjunction with each other
must be carefully planned and coordinated. Refer to "Zoning" on page 154 for
additional information about zoning.
It is recommended that you obtain planning assistance from the HP professional
services organization before implementing the SANtegrity Binding feature with
director or switch zoning, especially for multiple fabrics.

connectivity). To access the dialog box, ensure the FICON management style is
enabled for the director or switch, then select the Allow/Prohibit and Active
options from the Element Manager application's Configure menu.
SAN High Availability Planning Guide
Switch binding — Using the switch binding feature, an administrator allows
only specified devices and fabric elements to connect to specified director or
fabric switch ports. This provides security in environments that include a
large number of devices by ensuring that only the intended set of devices
attaches to a director or switch. This feature is managed through the Element
Manager application.
