Switch Binding—This submenu provides two options:
— Change State—Allows you to activate Switch Binding according to a
specific connection policy (Restrict E_Ports, Restrict F_Ports, or 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 details, refer to
Features" on page 190.
Ports—Choose this option to display the Configure Ports dialog box. This
dialog has different functions in FICON management style versus Open
Systems management style.
— FICON management style—Use the dialog box to enable extended
distance buffering for 10 to 100km, 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 100km, enable LIN alerts for each port, define a type (G, F, and
E), and enable port binding.
Ports are automatically configured as G_Ports if no device is connected,
In both modes, you can enable the rerouting delay feature and for the
Director 2/64, you can set the director data speed.
Your director model and firmware may not allow variable data speeds.
Addresses—FICON management style only. Choose from two options for
active and stored addresses.
— Active Addresses—Displays the Configure-Addresses - "Active"
dialog box. Use this dialog box to configure a name, blocked or
unblocked state, and prohibited and allowed connection attributes for a
port.
