Enabling and disabling and on line state functions
For Switch Binding to function, specific operating parameters and optional features must be
enabled. In addition, there are specific requirements for disabling these parameters and features
when the director or switch is off line or on line.
Be aware of the following:
• Switch Binding can be enabled or disabled whether the switch is off line or on line.
• Enabling Enterprise Fabric Mode automatically enables Switch Binding.
• You cannot disable Switch Binding if Enterprise Fabric Mode is enabled. However, if Enterprise
Fabric Mode is disabled, you can disable Fabric Binding, Switch Binding, or both.
• If the switch is on line and Switch Binding is not enabled, all nodes and switches attached to the
switch are automatically added to the Switch Membership List.
• WWNs can be added to the Switch Membership List when Switch Binding is enabled or
disabled.
• WWNs can only be removed from the Switch Membership List if any of the following are true:
• The switch is off line.
• Switch Binding is disabled.
• The switch or device with the WWN is not connected to the switch.
• Switch Binding is not enabled for the same port type as enabled for the Connection Policy in
the Switch Binding State Change dialog box. For example, a WWN for a switch attached to
an E_Port can be removed if Switch Binding Connection Policy was enabled to Restrict
F_Ports.
• The switch or device with the WWN is connected to a port that is blocked.
Zoning with Switch Binding enabled
Note that SANtegrity Binding has no effect on existing zoning configurations. However, if a device
WWN is in a specific zone, but the WWN is not on the Switch Membership List, the device cannot
log in to the director or switch port and cannot connect to other devices in the zone when switch
binding is enabled.
Enterprise Fabric Mode
The Enterprise Fabric Mode is available on the Fabrics menu of HAFM if the SANtegrity Binding
feature key is installed. This option automatically enables the features and operating parameters
that are necessary in multiswitch Enterprise Fabric environments. Note that there are specific
requirements for disabling these parameters and features when the director or switch is off line or on
line.
