CHAPTER 4: BASIC OPERATIONS

Assigning server names

Use the Names dialog box to identify individual servers by name rather than by port number. The Names list is always sorted by port order. Names are stored in the SAM, so even if you move the cable/server to another ARI port, the name and configuration will be recognized by the appliance.

NOTE:

If a server is turned off, its respective SAM will not appear in the Names list.

To access the Names dialog box:

1.Press Print Screen. The Main dialog box will appear.

2.Click Setup - Names. The Names dialog box appears.

Figure 4-3. Names Dialog Box

NOTE:

If the server list changes, the mouse cursor will turn into an hourglass as the list is automatically

updated. No mouse or keyboard input will be accepted until the list update is complete.

To assign names to servers:

1.In the Names dialog box, select a server name or port number and click Modify. The Name Modify dialog box appears.
