Configuring Slot Names

Slot names are used to identify individual servers. When choosing slot names, the following rules apply:

Names may contain a maximum of 15 non-extended ASCII characters (ASCII codes 32 through 126). Standard and special characters are allowed in the names.

Slot names must be unique within the chassis. Slots should not have the same name.

• Strings are not case-sensitive. Server-1,server-1, and SERVER-1are equivalent names.

Slot names must not begin with the following strings:

Switch-

Fan-

PS-

DRAC-

MC-

Chassis

Housing-Left

Housing-Right

Housing-Center

The strings Server-1through Server-4may be used, but only for the corresponding slot. For example, Server-3is a valid name for slot 3, but not for slot 4. However, Server-03is a valid name for any slot.

NOTE: To change a slot name, you must have the Chassis Configuration Administrator privilege.

The slot name setting in the web interface resides on CMC only. If a server is removed from the chassis, the slot name setting does not remain with the server.
