Refer to “
Configuring Switch Binding—Overview
” on
page 6–7
for information
on how the Switch Membership List is populated with WWNs according to
options set in the Switch Binding State Change dialog box.
2. If nicknames are configured for WWNs through HAFM and you want these to
display instead of WWNs in this dialog box, click Display Options. The Display
Options dialog box displays.
3. Click Nickname, then click OK.
4. To prohibit connection to a switch port from a WWN currently in the Membership
List, click the WWN or nickname in the Membership List, then click Remove.
The WWN or nickname will move to the Node List panel. WWNs can only be
removed from the fabric if any of the following is true:
•
The switch is offline.
•
Switch Binding is disabled.
•
The switch or device with the WWN is not connected to the switch.
•
Switch Binding is not enabled for the same port type as enabled for the
Connection Policy in the Switch Binding State Change dialog box. For
example, a WWN for a switch attached to an E_Port can be removed if the
Switch Binding Connection Policy was enabled to Restrict F_Ports.
•
The switch or device with the WWN is connected to a port that is blocked.
•
The switch or device with the WWN is not currently connected to the switch
(detached node).
5. WWNs can be added to the Switch Membership List (and thereby allowed
connection) when Switch Binding is either enabled or disabled. To allow
connection to a switch port from a WWN in the Node List panel, select the WWN
or nickname in the Node List panel, then click the Add button. The WWN or
nickname will move to the Membership List panel.
6. To add a WWN for a device or switch not currently connected to the switch, click
Detached Node. The Add Detached Node dialog box displays.
7. Enter the appropriate WWN or nickname (if configured through HAFM) and click
OK. The WWN or nickname displays in the Switch Membership List.
8. Click Activate to enable the changes and close the dialog box.
