Entering a

This option is not supported unless the SANtegrity feature is installed (see 5.2,
“Activating the High Integrity feature” on page 48).

5.2 Activating the High Integrity feature
Establishing a High-Integrity fabric is mandatory for FICON Directors when implemented in a
cascaded environment. Both Directors must have the SANtegrity feature installed. The
SANtegrity feature is installed by activating the feature key purchased for each Director. The
SANtegrity feature (FC 6006 for the Intrepid 6040 or FC 6007 for the Intrepid 6140) is ordered
separately.
