Binding Target Devices Attached to the HBA Port Using the Fibre

Channel Port Configuration Dialog Box

NOTE:

■ This feature is not supported in Novell NetWare.

■ You can also use the General Configuration Wizard (Target Persistent

Binding dialog box) (see section 7.2) or the Target Persistent Binding

tabbed page (see section 7.8) to bind devices attached to HBA ports. For

information about deleting persistent configuration data, see section 7.9.

Target persistent binding is done by associating a target ID with the world wide node

name and world wide port name of the target (targets can also be bound by port ID;

contact your authorized maintenance provider for more information). Persistent

binding information for targets is saved to persistent storage:

■ Registry (Windows 2000/Windows Server 2003)

■ /etc/modules.conf and /etc/qla2x00.conf files (Red Hat/SuSE Linux)

■ /kernel/drv/qla2x00.conf (Solaris SPARC)
