TIP:
If a nickname is set to a WWN by using a storage system management tool, such as Remote Web
Console, you can view the latest WWN nickname by refreshing the storage system information. Also,
if there are multiple WWN nicknames set to the host groups on the storage system, only one WWN
nickname for the port on the host is selected and displayed automatically.
