Overview
32 Director Element Manager User Guide
Switch Binding
This option has two suboptions: Change State and Edit Membership List.
■ Change State—Displays the Switch Binding State Change dialog box where
you can activate Switch Binding according to a specific connection policy
(Restrict E_Ports, Restrict F_Ports, or Restrict All Ports).
■ Edit Membership List—Allows you to create a list of switches and devices
that you want to allow exclusively to attach to director ports. Switch Binding
is an optional feature that requires the SANtegrity Binding feature key. The
feature can be installed through the Configure Feature Key dialog box. For
more information, see “Configuring Feature Key” on page 149 and
“SANtegrity Features” on page 198.
Ports
Click this option to display the Configure Ports dialog box. This dialog box has
different functions for FICON management style and Open Systems management
style.
■ FICON management style—Use the dialog box to enable extended distance
buffering for 10 to 100 km, link incident (LIN) alerts, and Port Binding for
each port.
■ Open Systems management style—For each port you can provide a name,
block or unblock operation, configure extended distance buffering for 10 to
100 km, enable LIN alerts for each port, define a type (G, F, and E), set the
speed, enable Port Binding, and enter a WWN or nickname.
Note: Ports are automatically configured as G_Ports if no device is connected, F_Ports
if a device is connected, and E_Ports if a director is connected.
In both styles, you can enable the rerouting delay feature, and for the Director
2/64 only, you can set the director data speed.
Note: Note that your director model and firmware may not allow variable data
speeds.
