Physical Planning Considerations SANtegrity Binding Planning Considerations Fabric and switch binding enhance data security by controlling and monitoring director, fabric switch, and device connectivity. The name server zoning feature also provides data security by partitioning devices into restricted-access zones. Use of the SANtegrity Binding and zoning features in conjunction with each other must be carefully planned and coordinated. Refer to "Name Server Zoning" on page 132 for additional information about zoning. It is recommended 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. Open Trunking Open Trunking is a feature that optimizes ISL bandwidth use in a fabric environment. The feature monitors Fibre Channel data rates through multiple ISLs, dynamically applies a fibre shortest path first (FSPF) networking algorithm to calculate the optimum path between fabric elements, and load balances Fibre Channel traffic (from congested links to uncongested links) accordingly. Open Trunking is shown in Figure 51.
