Consider the following information when choosing resource names:
•
To minimize the need for name changes and to make network-related resources easier to
identify, consider choosing names that include the following information:
◦ The purpose of the resource. For example:
prod for production network resources
dev for development network resources
◦ For tagged networks, the VLAN ID
NOTE: If you are creating multiple tagged networks at the same time (creating networks
in bulk), the network name is automatically appended with an underscore (_) and the VLAN
ID. For example, Dev_101.
◦ An identifier to help you distinguish between resources that use the left side or the right
side of an enclosure. For example:
left and right
A and B
1 and 2
◦ Examples of network names that follow the recommended naming conventions include
the following:
dev_1105_A
prod_1102_1
test_1111_left
◦ If you plan to use multi-network connections in server profiles, create network sets that
contain all the networks to be used by a single profile connection. Choose names such
as the following:
dev_nset_A
prodnset_1
testns_left
◦ Changing the names of uplinks sets can result in resources being taken offline temporarily
(see
“Configuration changes that require or result in resource outages” (page 91) ). To
minimize the need for name changes, and make the uplink sets easier to identify, choose
names such as the following:
devUS_A
prodUS_1
testUS_left
•
The appliance does not support the filtering of resources, such as server hardware, based on
physical location (data center name). To enable filtering by data center name, choose a
naming convention that includes the data center name in the resource name.
•
The appliance supports the filtering of resources by model, so you can search for server
hardware without having to include the model number in the name.
•
The appliance provides default names for many resources. For example:
Enclosures are assigned the name Encln, where n is a number that is incremented by
1 as each enclosure is added. ◦
◦
enclosure_name-LI is the default name of a logical interconnect, where
enclosure_name is the name of the enclosure.
