Renaming a Storage Subsystem
Use the Rename option to set or change the name of a storage subsystem.
Keep these guidelines in mind when you rename a storage subsystem:
- A 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.
When you have named the storage subsystem, the prefix “Storage Subsystem” is automatically added to the name shown in the
Logical pane and in the Enterprise Management Window.
Important:
The storage management software does not check for duplicate names. Check the Enterprise Management Window to make sure that
the name you have chosen is not used by another storage subsystem.
