Storage Foundation Manager (SFM) is a free license add-on to Veritas Storage Foundation that provides centralized application, server and storage management capabilities across a heterogeneous infrastructure. SFM is not available on the Storage Foundation and High Availability Solutions release and must be obtained separately.

See Downloading Storage Foundation Manager.

If you plan to use Storage Foundation Manager, configure the Storage Foundation products to use centralized management. Several prerequisites are necessary before you configure the system as a Storage Foundation Manager managed host. You must install and configure Storage Foundation Manager and the Authentication Broker from the SFM server.

For information about configuring and using Storage Foundation Manager, see the Storage Foundation Manager Installation Guide and the Storage Foundation Manager Administrator's Guide.
