Optional Features

Zoning with Switch Binding Enabled

Note that SANtegrity Binding has no effect on existing zoning configurations.
However, note that if a device WWN is in a specific zone, but the WWN is not in
the Switch Membership List, the device cannot log in to the director or switch port
and cannot connect to other devices in the zone with Switch Binding enabled.

Enterprise Fabric Mode

Enterprise Fabric Mode is an option available on the Fabrics menu in the
HAFM application if the SANtegrity Binding feature key is installed. This option
automatically enables the following features and operating parameters that are
necessary in multiswitch Enterprise Fabric environments. Note that there are
specific requirements for disabling these parameters and features when the

WWNs can only be removed from the Switch Membership List if any of the
following are true:
— The director or switch is offline.
— Switch Binding is disabled.
— The switch or device with the WWN is not connected to the director or
switch.
— Switch Binding is not enabled for the same port type as enabled for the
Connection Policy in the Switch Binding State Change dialog box. For
example, a WWN for a switch attached to an E_Port can be removed if
Switch Binding Connection Policy was enabled to Restrict F_Ports.
— The switch or device with the WWN is connected to a port that is
blocked.
— The switch or device with the WWN is not currently connected to the
director or switch (detached node).
If the director or switch is online and Switch Binding is not enabled, all nodes
and switches attached to the director or switch are automatically added to the
Switch Membership List.
