The Target Mapping tab enables you to view current target mapping and
to set up persistent binding. Persistent binding is read-only for Linux.
This topic describes both functions.
| Note |
Persistent binding is not supported
by the Linux 2.6 kernel or by the Emulex version
8 driver for Linux. |
Viewing Target Mapping
To view the Target Mapping tab:
Start HBAnyware. -
Do one of the following:
From the menu bar, click View, then click
Sort by Host Name. From the toolbar, click the  button.
Click a target in the discovery-tree.
Setting Up Persistent Binding (Windows only.)
To set up persistent binding:
Start HBAnyware. In the discovery-tree, click the host bus adapter
(HBA) for which you want to set up persistent binding. Click the Target Mapping tab. All targets are
displayed. Target mappings are displayed by World Wide Port
Name (WWPN), World Wide Node Name (WWNN), device ID (D_ID), SCSI ID, or
Type. This can be either 'PB', indicating that the mapping was the result
of a persistent binding, or 'Auto', indicating that the target was automapped.
In the Display Mode section, choose the display mode you want to use. Change Settings - click to change the Active Bind
Type (the mode used to persistently bind target mappings), LUN Automapping
or LUN Unmasking settings. The Mapped Target Setting window is displayed.
Select the Active Bind Type (WWPN, WWNN, D_ID or ALPA), set LUN Automapping
to Enabled or Disabled and/or set LUN unmasking to Enabled or Disabled.
To add a persistent binding:
In the Targets Table, click the target that you
want to bind. -
Click Add. The Add Persistent Binding dialog box is displayed.
Select the Bind Type that you want to use (WWPN,
WWNN or D_ID). Select the Bus ID and Target ID that you want
to bind, and click OK.
| Note |
Automapped targets will have entries
only in the second column of the Targets Table. Persistently bound targets
will have entries in the second and third columns. In this case, the third
column contains the SCSI bus and target numbers you specified in the Add
Persistent Binding dialog box. This binding will take effect only after
the local machine is rebooted.
It is possible to specify a SCSI bus and target that have already been
used on behalf of a different FC target. HBAnyware does not detect this
until you click the OK button in the Add dialog box. Then a "duplicate
binding" error message is displayed, and the request is rejected.
|
To bind a target that does not appear in the Persistent Binding Table:
| Note |
Attempting to bind a target already in the Persistent Binding
table results in an error message, “Target already in target list. Use
the Add Binding button.” |
-
Click Bind New. The Bind New Target dialog box is displayed.
Click the type of binding you want to use, and
type the WWPN, WWNN or D_ID you want to bind to the target. -
Select the Bus ID and Target ID that you want to bind, and click
OK.
| Note |
A target will not appear on the
target list if automapping has been disabled and the target is not already
persistently bound.
Attempting
to bind a target already in the Persistent Binding table results in an
error message, “Target already in target list. Use
the Add Binding button.” |
