About binding Fibre Channel HBA drivers

For Fibre Channel HBAs other than StorEdge Network Foundation, you must bind the devices to specific target IDs on the NetBackup host. When you bind devices to targets, the target ID does not change after a system reboot or a Fibre Channel configuration change.

In some instances, Veritas products are configured to use a specific target ID. If you change the ID, the products fail until you configure the ID correctly.

How you bind devices to targets is vendor and product specific. For information about how to modify the HBA configuration files to bind devices to targets, see the documentation for the HBA.

The binding may be based on the following:

  • Fibre Channel World Wide Port Name (WWPN)

  • World Wide Node Name (WWNN)

  • The destination target ID and LUN

After you bind the devices to target IDs, continue with the Solaris configuration in the same manner as for parallel SCSI installations.

Each time you add or remove a device, you must update the bindings and then configure the sg and the st drivers again.
