Bind Target Devices Attached to the Adapter

7-28 FS0054601-00 E

Bind target devices to the attached HBAs using the Fibre Channel Port

Configuration dialog box, as described in the following steps:

1. To access the Fibre Channel Port Configuration dialog box, perform the

following steps:

❑ In the HBA tree, select the host (or adapter, device, or LUN connected to

the host). Click the Configure button on the toolbar.

❑ Right-click the host, adapter, device, or LUN in the HBA tree. From the

pop-up menu, select Configure.

The Fibre Channel Port Configuration dialog box is shown in figure 7-12.

2. Select the Bind check box if you want to configure the port and bind it to the

target ID that you have selected in the ID drop-down box. If you do not want to

configure the port, clear the check box. If you clear the check box, the

corresponding port will be unconfigured. (In Solaris SPARC, unconfigured

entries are saved in persistent storage. In Windows NT/2000, unconfigured

entries are not saved in persistent storage).

If target persistent binding information was saved in persistent storage and the

machine is restarted, the driver reads the information saved in persistent

storage during start up. SANblade Manager then reads this information from

the driver and sets the target IDs accordingly.

If no persistent binding information was saved in persistent storage, the driver

assigns target IDs at start up; then SANblade Manager reports the target IDs

assigned by the driver.
