Monitoring and Managing the Switch
• Attached WWN: Click the radio button and, if a device is logged into the port,
the device's WWN will display in the field. The device with this WWN or
nickname will have exclusive communication privileges to the port if Port
Binding is enabled.
NOTE: If you click this radio button to bind the port to a logged-in device and there are no
devices logged in, the port is essentially bound to a WWN of “0.” This prevents any device from
logging in until this button is re-enabled to bind the WWN of a logged-in device or until you
explicitly bind the WWN of a device by clicking the detached WWN radio button and entering a
WWN or nickname (see the following). Changes only take effect when you click the Activate
button.
• Detached WWN: Click the radio button and enter a world wide name (WWN) in
the proper format (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) or a nickname configured through
the Product or HAFM applications. The device with this WWN or nickname will
have exclusive communication privileges through the port if Port Binding is
enabled.
Note the following:
— If you do not enter valid WWN or nickname in this field, but the Port Binding
check box is checked (enabled), then no devices can communicate over the
port.
— If you enter a WWN or nickname in this field and do not place a check in the
Port Binding checkbox, the WWN or nickname will be stored, and all devices
can communicate over the port.
• Activate: Click this button to activate settings in this dialog box.
Warning and error message display:
• If one or more of the nodes logged into a port does not match the WWN or
nickname configured in the field by the WWN radio button, a warning dialog box
displays after you activate the configuration. This warning box displays a list of
all nodes that will be logged off if you continue. If you click Continue on the
warning box, these nodes will be logged off and the port will only attach to the
device with the device with the WWN or nickname configured in the WWN field.
• An error message displays after you activate the configuration if the format for the
WWN entered in the WWN field is not valid (not in xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx
format) or if you have entered a nickname that was not configured through the
Product Manager.
