15 – SANblade Control FX Application for Solaris

Configurating the HBA

15-28 FC2354601-00 E

Control FX Application detects the target devices that are bound in the configuration

file and selects the check boxes under the Bind column for all such bound targets.

In the Target ID column, the target ID displayed is as read from the configuration

file. For all targets that are not bound, the SANblade Control FX Application clears

the check boxes in the Bind and Target ID columns (grayed out) and tries to

populate the Target ID column with the ID assigned by the driver. You can selectively

bind or unbind a target device by selecting the check boxes under the Bind column.

Selecting the check box enables the Target ID column for that target device;

conversely, clearing a check box clears the Target ID column. Once you save the

configuration, all targets that have the Bind column selected will be persistently

bound in the configuration file. Target devices that have the Bind column cleared

will not be persistently bound in the configuration file. If a target device was

previously bound, choosing not to bind it results in the removal of any persistent

binding entries for that target device from the configuration file.

NOTE: A boot device will not be persistently bound in the QLogic configuration

file (since it is already bound in the NVRAM). Any persistent-binding entry

in the QLogic configuration file with the same ID as the boot device will

be removed. However, all relevant target and LUN information about the

boot device appears in the system file (sd.conf).

Complete binding the target IDs by clicking one of the buttons at the bottom of the

Target Settings tabbed page:

n Save. Click this button to save the current configuration in the configuration file,

overriding any previously saved configuration.

n Refresh. Click this button if you accidentally made some changes to the target

configuration and want to revert back to the previously saved configuration state.
