SANtegrity™ Binding - This feature enhances data security in large and
complex SANs that have numerous fabrics and devices provided by multiple
OEMs. The feature allows or prohibits director or switch attachment to fabrics
(fabric binding) and Fibre Channel device attachment to directors or switches
(switch binding).
LEDs that provide visual indicators of hardware status or malfunctions. LEDs
are provided on:
— Director and switch FRUs.
— The director front bezel.
— Switch front panels.
System alerts, event logs, audit logs, link incident logs, and hardware logs that
display director, switch, Ethernet link, and Fibre Channel link status on the

HAFM appliance.

Directors and switches also have threshold alerts and a threshold alert log that
notifies users when the transmit (Tx) or receive (Rx) throughput reaches a
specified value for configured ports or port types.
Diagnostic software that performs power-on self tests (POSTs) and port
diagnostics (internal loopback and external loopback tests). The software also
includes a diagnostic Fibre Channel (FC) wrap test. The FC wrap test applies
only when a director or switch is configured to operate in FICON
management style.
The Edge Switch 2/12 and Edge Switch 2/24 do not support operation using
Automatic notification of significant system events (to support personnel or
administrators) through alphanumeric pager, e-mail messages, or the
call-home feature.
An internal modem in the HAFM appliance for HP call-home support.
