Binding is the process of initiating the configuration into the hypervisor, where the machine description, MD, for the guest is loaded. It is also where checks are done on reservations for the CPU, MAU, memory, I/O to ensure that they can be fulfilled. Powering it on and off is like doing a setkeyswitch on a dymanic domain on an M-series, causes the POST->OBP->Bootloader->OS and reverse.

When should one unbind? I had though that that binding "locked" the configuration and that one would need to unbind to change the configuration. Experience has shown that is not the case.
