Enabling or Disabling Switch Authentication
To enable Fibre Channel switches to authenticate hosts, you must enable the user authentication
settings of Fibre Channel switches. By default, the Fibre Channel switch authentication is disabled.
To enable a Fibre Channel switch to authenticate hosts:
1.
Make sure that Remote Web Console is in Modify mode.
2.
Start LUN Manager and display the Authentication window (
).
3.
In the Port tree, double-click the Subsystem folder.
If the storage system contains any Fibre Channel adapters, the Fibre folder appears below
the Subsystem folder.
4.
In the Port tree, double-click the Fibre folder.
The information for the Fibre Channel switch appears in the FC Switch Information list.
5.
Right-click any point in the FC Switch Information list and select Authentication :Disable->Enable
from the pop-up menu.
6.
Click the Apply button in the Authentication window.
A message appears and asks if you want to apply the setting to the storage system.
7.
Click the OK button to close the message.
The setting is applied to the storage system.
To return the Fibre Channel switch setting so that the switch cannot authenticate hosts, perform the
same operation, but select the Authentication :Enable->Disable menu in step 5.

Changing WWNs and Nicknames of Host Bus Adapters
In Fibre Channel environments, host bus adapters can be identified by WWNs or nicknames.
To change the WWN and/or the nickname of a host bus adapter:
1.
Start LUN Manager and display the LUN Manager window (
).
2.
In the tree, double-click the Fibre folder to open the folder.
A list of Fibre Channel ports appears.
3.
In the tree, double-click the Fibre Channel port to which the desired host bus adapter is
connected.
4.
In the tree, select and right-click a host bus adapter ( ).
5.
Select Change WWN & Name from the pop-up menu.
The Change WWN & Name dialog box (
) appears.
6.
To change the WWN, enter a new WWN or select another WWN in the WWN list.
To change the nickname, enter a new nickname in the Nickname box.
7.
If necessary, check Apply this change to other ports, too.
If this check box is checked, the change in the dialog box will also affect other ports. For
example, suppose that the same host bus adapter (that is, the same WWN) is located below
ports CL1-A and CL2-A in the tree. If you select the host bus adapter (or the WWN) from
below one of the ports and change the nickname to hba1, the host bus adapter below the
other port will also be renamed hba1.
