Renaming a Host Group, a Host, or an HBA Host Port
Use the Rename option to change the name of a , a , or a .
Keep these guidelines in mind when choosing a new name:
The name can consist of letters, numbers, and the special characters underscore (_) and dash (-). If you choose any other
characters, an error message appears. You are prompted to choose another name.
Limit the name to 30 characters. Any leading and trailing spaces in the name are deleted.
Use a unique, meaningful name that is easy to understand and remember.
Avoid arbitrary names or names that would quickly lose their meaning in the future.
If you choose a name that duplicates that of another node of the same type, an error message appears. You are prompted to
choose another name.
On the Mappings tab, select a host group, a host, or an HBA host port from the Topology pane, and select Mappings >> Rename.
Type the new name, and click OK.
Note:
If you delete the text from the text box and click OK, the original name of the node is retained.
