Generally Available: CRC Protection

Azure Elastic SAN now supports CRC-32C checksum verification when enabled on the client side for connections to Elastic SAN volumes. You can enable CRC protection when creating an Elastic SAN or enable it on an existing Elastic SAN. Elastic SAN also offers the ability to enforce this error detection through a property that you can set at the volume group level. Any volume within that volume group inherits this property. When you enable this property on a volume group, Elastic SAN rejects all client connections to any volumes in the volume group if CRC-32C isn't set for header or data digests on those connections. When the property is disabled, Elastic SAN volume checksum verification depends on whether CRC-32C is set for header or data digests on the client, but your Elastic SAN won't reject any connections.
