Creating Names (Aliases) for Server WWNs

You can give the servers on your SAN names (aliases) that you can easily recognize to make LUN zoning easier to manage. For example, you can use the computer name that has already been assigned to each server.

You can determine which WWN is for which server by booting one server at a time and then viewing the WWN list. The most recently booted server is first on the list.

You can name up to 63 servers. The names are stored on the controller, so if you change controllers, you have to rename the servers.

To create or change names for WWNs:

1From the System Menu, select Configuration Menu and press Enter. The Configuration Menu screen displays.

2Select Manage Host Names and press Enter. The Manage Host Names screen displays.

3Select Add or Name Host and press Enter.

The Add or Name Host screen displays all known WWNs and host names that you have set up. If you want to change the name (alias), enter the new name in Step 5. For more information see Viewing Known WWNs on page 7-12.

If the controller is not aware of any WWNs, the list is empty. Select Enter New Host to enter a WWN.

Name set up previously
