Optional Features ■ 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 the 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. ■ The switch or device with the WWN is not currently connected to the switch (detached node). 5. WWNs can be added to the Switch Membership List (and thereby allowed connection) when Switch Binding is either enabled or disabled. To allow connection to a switch port from a WWN in the Node List panel, select the WWN or nickname in the Node List panel, then click the Add button. The WWN or nickname will move to the Membership List panel. 6. To add a WWN for a device or switch not currently connected to the switch, click Detached Node. The Add Detached Node dialog box displays. 7. Enter the appropriate WWN or nickname (if configured through HAFM) and click OK. The WWN or nickname displays in the Switch Membership List. 8. Click Activate to enable the changes and close the dialog box. Enable/Disable and Online State Functions In order for Switch Binding to function, specific operating parameters and optional features must be enabled. Also, there are specific requirements for disabling these parameters and features when the director or switch is offline or online. Be aware of the following: ■ Switch Binding can be enabled or disabled whether the switch is offline or online. ■ Enabling Enterprise Fabric Mode automatically enables Switch Binding. ■ You cannot disable Switch Binding if Enterprise Fabric Mode is enabled. ■ If Enterprise Fabric Mode is enabled and the director or switch is online, you cannot disable Switch Binding. However, if Enterprise Fabric Mode is disabled, you can disable Fabric Binding, Switch Binding, or both. ■ If Enterprise Fabric Mode is enabled and the director or switch is offline you can disable Switch Binding, but Enterprise Fabric Mode will also disable. ■ WWNs can be added to the Switch Membership List when Switch Binding is enabled or disabled.

■

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

the 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.

■

The switch or device with the WWN is not currently connected to the

switch (detached node).

WWNs can be added to the

Add Detached Node

dialog box displays.

Enter the appropriate WWN or nickname (if configured through HAFM) and

click

. The WWN or nickname displays in the

Switch Membership List

Click

Activate

to enable the changes and close the dialog box.
