Configuring the director 122
NOTE: Your director model, firmware, and port cards may not allow 2 Gig data speeds.
• Port Binding—Placing a check mark in the check boxes of this column enables the Binding state
of the port.
• Bound WWN—Enter a World Wide Name (WWN) in the proper format
(xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) or a nickname configured through HAFM. The device with this WWN
or nickname will have exclusive attachment to the port if Port Binding is enabled. If a valid
WWN or nickname is not entered in this box, but the Port Binding check box is checked
(enabled), no devices can connect to the port. If you enter a WWN or nickname in this box and
do not place a check in the Port Binding check box, the WWN or nickname will be stored,
and all devices can connect to the port.
Warnings and error messages
If you click Activate when any node attached to a port does not match the WWN or nickname in
that port’s Bound WWN column, a Warning! dialog box is displayed. If you click Continue, all
nodes listed will be logged off, and the ports will attach to the respective devices identified in the
Bound WWN column.
If you click Activate when the format for the WWN or nickname in the Bound WWN column is not
valid, an error message is displayed. For example,
The WWN is not in the
xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx format
.
