WWN nickname examples:
•
(Host Name)_(Slot Number)_(HBA Port)
•
(Host Name)_(Slot Number)_(Fabric Number)
•
(Host Name)_(Slot Number)_(Fabric Number)_(Port Number)
There are two options for editing a WWN nickname that is defined in a host group:
•
Collectively edit the WWN nickname for all related host groups. When this option is selected, the
WWN nickname is applied to all host groups that have the same WWN.
•
Edit the WWN nickname of an individual host group. When this option is selected, only the WWN
nickname of the individual host group is changed.
TIP:
If a nickname is set to a WWN by using a storage system management tool, such as Storage Navigator,
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.
