Creating Names for WWNs
Creating Names for WWNs
To make LUN zoning easier to manage, you can assign names, or
aliases, to the hosts. For example, you can use a computer name
that has already been assigned. You can determine which WWN is
for which host by booting one host at a time and then viewing the
WWN list. The most recently booted host is listed first.
You can name up to 63 hosts, but you can only view the last 16
hosts that booted or that you named. The list is updated as you
name or reboot hosts. Names are stored on the controller, so if you
change controllers, you’ll need to rename the hosts.
To create or change names for WWNs:
1
From the System Menu, select
Configuration Menu
, then press
Enter
.
The Configuration Menu appears.
2
Select
General LUN Zoning
, then press
Enter
.
The General LUN Zoning menu appears.
3
Select
Add or Name Host
, then press
Enter
.
The Add or Name Host screen displays the last 16 known
WWNs and host names that you have set up. For more
information, see
If the controller is not aware of any WWNs, the list is empty.
Select
Enter New Host
to enter a WWN.
Note:
The controller doesn’t typically assign a default name to
a WWN. However, in some cases, the name defaults to the
name of the manufacturer of the host bus adapter (HBA),
enclosed in angle brackets. For example, an Adaptec HBA has
a default name of <Adaptec>.
4
Select the WWN you want to name, then press
Enter
.
The Enter Host Name screen appears.
5
Enter the name (alias) you want, then press
Enter
. You can use
up to 16 characters. You can include any characters in the name,
including spaces.
