Setting Up Persistent Binding (Windows, Solaris LPFC and Solaris SFS)
You can set up persistent binding on remote and local HBAs. Global automapping assigns a binding
type, target ID, SCSI bus and SCSI ID to the device. The binding type, SCSI bus and SCSI ID may
change when the system is rebooted. With persistent binding applied to one of these targets, the
WWPN, SCSI bus and SCSI ID remain the same when the system is rebooted.
The driver refers to the binding information at bootup. When you create a persistent binding, HBAnyware
tries to make that binding dynamic. However, the binding must meet all of the following criteria to be
dynamic:
• The SCSI ID (target/bus combination) specified in the binding request must not be mapped to
another target. For example, the SCSI ID must not already appear in the 'Current Mappings'
table under 'SCSI ID'. If the SCSI ID is already in use, then the binding cannot be made
dynamic, and a reboot is required.
• The target (WWPN, WWNN or DID) specified in the binding request must not be mapped to a
SCSI ID. If the desired target is already mapped, then a reboot is required.
• The bind type (WWPN, WWNN or DID) specified in the binding request must match the currently
active bind type shown in the Current Settings area of the Target Mapping tab. If they do not
match, then the binding cannot be made active.
To set up persistent binding:
1. In the discovery-tree, select the HBA you want to set up with persistent binding.
2. Select the Target Mapping tab. All targets are displayed.

3. Target mappings are displayed by WWPN, WWNN, or D_ID. “PB”, indicates mapping from
persistent binding, while “Auto”, indicates an automapped target. In the Display Mode section,
choose the display mode you want to use.
4. Change Setting - click to change the active bind type (the mode used to persistently bind target
mappings), LUN automapping or LUN unmasking settings. Select the active bind type (WWPN,
WWNN or D_ID), enable or disable LUN automapping and/or set enable or disable LUN
unmasking.
