■ Bound WWN—Enter the WWN or nickname of the device that is attached to
the port.
If the check box in the Port Binding column is checked and a WWN is
entered in the Bound WWN field, only the specified device can attach to the
port.
If the check box in the Port Binding column is checked but no WWN is
entered in the Bound WWN field, no device can connect to the port.
If the check box in the Port Binding column is not checked, any device can
connect to the port (provided that the port type matches and the check box in
the Blocked column is not checked). Any WWN or nickname entered in the
Bound WWN field is stored.
When you click Activate, if the check box in the Port Binding column is
checked and the WWN or nickname in the Port Binding column does not
match the device actually connected to the port, the warning dialog box
displays. If you click Continue, the currently attached devices are logged off.
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 displays.
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 displays. For example,
The WWN
is not in the xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx format .
