When specifying "Standard_Volume1" (16 characters) as the volume name and specifying
"100" for "Start of Suffix"
Names such as "Standard_Volume~100" and "Standard_Volume~101" are used for
new volumes.

increased by one (+1). The suffix number is increased by one (+1) until no volume names
overlap.

Naming conventions for adding FC hosts
The following naming conventions apply when creating FC hosts:
•
A name is automatically added to a host with the "FC host Group Name" and a suffix number
"_x" (serial numbers starting with "0").
[Example]
When specifying "HOST_Group_001" (14 characters) as the host group name
Names such as "HOST_Group_001_0" and "HOST_Group_001_1" are used for FC
host groups.
•
When the host name including the suffix number "_x" has more than 16 characters, the
excess number of characters is deleted from the "FC host Group Name", starting with the last
character and a suffix number "~x" will be added. Then, the name will contain only 16
characters.
[Example]
When specifying "HOST_Group_ABCDE" (16 characters) as the host group name
Names such as "HOST_Group_ABC~0" and "HOST_Group_ABC~1" are used for FC
host groups.
•
When a host name including the suffix number already exists, the suffix number is increased
by one (+1). The suffix number is increased by one (+1) until no host names overlap.
•
The FC hosts, which were selected on the [Now Connected] screen, are named, and then the
FC hosts, which were specified on the [Manual Input] screen, are named next.
•
The name of the host, which was already named, will also be changed.
■
Naming convention when renaming FC hosts
The following naming conventions apply when renaming FC hosts:
•
When one FC host has been selected, the FC host name is changed to the entered name.
•
When multiple FC hosts have been selected, the FC host names are changed in the order of
the present FC host names.
•
When multiple FC hosts have been selected, the FC host names are changed to the entered
name with "_" and consecutive suffix numbers added respectively.
