Device information and nicknames

Devices are hosts and storage targets connected to the switch. A nickname is a user-definable, meaningful

name that can be used in place of the World Wide Name (WWN). Assigning nicknames makes it easier

to recognize device ports when zoning your fabric and when viewing the Devices data window. The

following describes how to view and manage device information and nicknames.
