Set Up Persistent Binding

The persistent binding feature allows you to control the devices that are to be presented to the system.

The Miniport driver detects all devices attached to the HBAs. Global automapping assigns a binding type, target ID, SCSI bus, and SCSI ID to the device. The binding type, SCSI bus, and SCSI ID may change when the system is rebooted. When persistent binding is applied to one of these targets, the binding type, SCSI bus, and SCSI ID remain the same, whether the system is rebooted or whether Global Automap All Targets is subsequently disabled (enabled by default).

The binding information is permanent because it is stored in the Windows registry. The driver refers to the binding information at bootup.
