Persistent binding
Persistent binding is a feature of adapters that enables you to permanently assign a system SCSI
target ID to a specific Fibre Channel (FC) device, even though the device’s ID on the FC loop may be
different each time the FC loop initializes. Persistent binding is available in the Windows and
VMware environments only.
Use HCM features or BCU commands to display target ID mapping for an adapter port.
Displaying Persistent Binding settings through BCU
Use the pbind --list BCU command to query the list of mappings for persistent binding on a specific
port.
pbind --list <port_id> <pwwn>
where:
port_id
ID of the port for which you want to query mappings.
pwwn
Port World Wide Name

1. Launch the HCM.

3. Select Configure > Persistent Binding.
