Q
The target persistent binding information displays:
❑
Bind. Whether target persistent binding is selected
❑
Type. Type of device
❑
Device Info. Device vendor and device product ID
❑
Port Name. World wide device port name
❑
Port ID. Port ID of the device
❑
Target ID. Target ID of the device
Perform the following steps to bind devices attached to HBA ports.
a. 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 Target 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
2000/Windows Server 2003, 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. SANsurfer FC HBA 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 SANsurfer FC HBA Manager
reports the target IDs assigned by the driver.
b. Click in the target ID cell. Select an ID from the Target ID drop-down box.
In Solaris SPARC and Red Hat/SuSE Linux, target IDs can be assigned to
configured ports. Valid target ID values are in the range 0–254 (Red
Hat/SuSE Linux) or 0–255 (Solaris SPARC). The IDs are validated before
they are saved. Duplicate target IDs are not allowed.
When you set a target ID for a visible path in Red Hat/SuSE Linux, the same
target ID is set for both hidden and configured paths. When you set a target
ID for a visible path in Solaris SPARC, the same target ID is not set for both
hidden and configured paths.
In Windows 2000/Windows Server 2003, target IDs can be assigned only
to ports that will be configured. Valid target ID values are in the range 0–( n –1),
where n is the number of targets attached to the HBA.
In Solaris SPARC, the target ID cannot be modified if the device has been
selected as a boot device.
Once persistent binding information for the targets is saved, the ports retain
the assigned target IDs across reboots.
