in the tree.

Registering hosts in iSCSI targets (when configuring iSCSI environments)

When registering a host, you must specify the host bus adapter's iSCSI name.
When registering a host, you can assign a nickname for the host bus adapter. If you assign a nickname,

you can easily identify each host bus adapter in the LUN Manager pane. Although iSCSI names are

also used to identify each host bus adapter, the nickname you assign is more helpful because you can

name host bus adapters after the host installation site or host owners.

NOTE:

A nickname can consist of up to 32 ASCII characters (letters, numerals, and symbols). However, you

cannot use the following characters for nicknames:
\ / : , ; * ? " < > |

You cannot use spaces for the first and last characters in nicknames.

Nicknames are case-sensitive. For example, hp and HP are different nicknames.
