Configuring Fibre Channel Devices

❑ Bind target devices attached to the HBA port (see section 7.7)

❑ Delete persistent configuration data for an HBA port or device (see

section 7.9).

❑ View information (see section 7.6):

❑ HBA port information (see section 7.6.1)

❑ Device information (see section 7.6.2)

❑ Get help. From the Help menu, click Browse Contents. The help text for

the Fibre Channel Port Configuration dialog box displays.

3. The modified configuration set up by SANsurfer FC HBA Manager can be either

applied to the live system for dynamic updates or saved to the system's

persistent configuration data. If the configuration is saved, the HBA's driver

retrieves the data from the persistent configuration data at the next system

bootup and configures the system accordingly.

NOTE: Some older versions of the drivers do not support persistent

configuration data and the application does not save persistent

configuration entries for these drivers.

Do one of the following:

❑ Click Save to save the new configuration. The new configuration is saved

to the persistent configuration data so that it will be used the next time the

system is rebooted. The current boot configuration remains in memory and

redisplays after the save operation completes.

The following messages can display:

❑ If the save was successful, the configuration saved—must reboot

message displays. Click OK. Reboot the system that you configured to

display the new configuration.

❑ If the save failed, the save configuration failed message displays. The

failure is usually caused by communication problems between the GUI

and agent. Click OK.

❑ Click Cancel to not save the configuration changes.
