Abstract: A storage port receives a login request. The storage port configures an audit mode indicator as enabled in a login response to a host port to enter a security enabled mode to indicate to the host port that Input/Output (I/O) operations are to be transmitted from the host port to the storage port even if authentication or security association negotiation with the storage port cannot be completed successfully.

Abstract: Provided are a method, a system, and a computer program product in which a plurality of switches are maintained in a cascaded configuration. A switch relays a switch fabric internal link services (SW-ILS) to generate a pair of exchanges comprising a first exchange and a second exchange at the switch. In response to a termination of the first exchange of the pair of exchanges, the second exchange of the pair of exchanges is terminated.

Abstract: A host port is enabled for security. The host port performs Input/Output (I/O) in plaintext on a path between the host port and a storage port, in response to determining that an audit mode indicator has been enabled to allow I/O even if authentication or security association negotiation between the host port and the storage port cannot be completed successfully. Concurrently with performing of I/O in plaintext on the path, the host port enables encryption of data for I/O on the path.

Abstract: Provided are computer program product, system, and method for determining whether a short or long message format is used to communicate zone information in a network. One large zone is implemented for end devices coupled to ports of data forwarders. A first formatted zoning distribution message is generated for the data forwarders identifying the data forwarder and ports on the data forwarders in the one large zone in response to determining that the data forwarder supports the short message format. A second formatted zoning distribution message is generated identifying the data forwarder, the ports on the data forwarders, and additional fields of information on the ports not included in the first formatted zoning distribution message in response to determining that the data forwarder does not support the short message format; and sending the generated first formatted or second formatted zoning distribution message to the data forwarder.

Abstract: A host port is enabled for security. In response to a determination by the host port that authentication or security association negotiation with a storage port cannot be completed successfully, the host port determines whether an audit mode indicator has been enabled in a login response from the storage port. The host port preserves input/output (I/O) access to the storage port based on determining whether the audit mode indicator has been enabled in the login response from the storage port.

Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system and method embodiments for secure communication between an initiator and a responder over a network. The initiator sends a security association initialization message to the responder to establish a security association including key material used to generate a key for the security association. In response to receiving a security association initialization response to accept the security association, the initiator sends an authentication message to the responder to establish authentication between the responder and the initiator. In response to receiving an authentication message response to the authentication message, the initiator is programmed with the security association. An authentication done message is received from the responder after receiving the authentication message response. The initiator activates the security association to use the key to secure communication between the responder and initiator in response to receiving the authentication done message.

Abstract: An integrated hybrid system is provided. The hybrid system includes compute components of different types and architectures that are integrated and managed by a single point of control to provide federation and the presentation of the compute components as a single logical computing platform.
