Changing the Performance Control Name of an HBA

The Performance Control window allows you to assign a Performance Control name to a HBA. Although
you can identify HBAs by WWNs, you will be able to identify HBAs more easily if you assign
Performance Control names. WWNs are 16-digit hexadecimal numbers and cannot be changed.
However, Performance Control names do not need to be 16-digit hexadecimal numbers and can be
changed.

The following is the procedure for changing an already assigned Performance Control name. For
details on how to assign a Performance Control name, see
