3. Select the Bind Type that you want to use (WWPN, WWNN or D_ID).

To bind a target that does not appear in the Persistent Binding Table:
1. Click Bind New Target. The Bind New Target dialog box is displayed.
Figure 32: The Bind New Target Dialog Box
2. Click the type of binding you want to use, and type the WWPN, WWNN or D_ID you want to bind
to the target.
3. Select the Bus ID and Target ID that you want to bind, and click OK.
Note: All mapped targets, whether automapped or resulting from a persistent binding
configuration, will have entries in the “Current Mappings” table on the Target
Mapping dialog box.
If the binding that you defined has been successfully activated, you will see following
message:
“The new binding has been created and is currently active. Please note, however,
that the binding will not become permanently registered until after you have
recompiled the driver.”
Remember, if you reboot the sytsem or stop/restart the driver, the binding will
become inactive. To make the binding "stick" over subsequent reboots or driver
restarts, you must recompile the driver.
If, however, the binding was successfully created, but could not be made active, you
will see the following message:
“The new binding has been created. Note that this binding will not become active
until after you have recompiled and reloaded the lpfc driver.” Generally, you should
ensure that the bind type in the Current Settings section of the Target Mapping
dialog box is the same as the type of binding selected in the Persistent Binding
Configuration section of the dialog box.
Note: A target will not appear on the target list if automapping has been disabled and the
target is not already persistently bound.
