80 LUN Manager operations
When registering a host, you can assign a nickname to the host bus adapter. If you assign a nickname,
you can easily identify each host bus adapter in the LUN Manager pane. Although WWNs are also used
to identify host bus adapters, the nickname you assign is more helpful because you can name host bus
adapters after the host installation site or the 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 or last character in nicknames.
• Nicknames are case-sensitive. For example, hp and HP are different nicknames.
1. Start LUN Manager. The LUN Manager pane ( Figure 14 ) appears.
2. If the desired host has previously been connected via a cable to another port in the array, take the
following steps:
a. In the WWN name table, select the port to which the host is connected from the Port list.
b. In the WWN name table, select the host bus adapter. From the tree, select a host group, and click
Add WWN.
NOTE: If you are using Windows, you can drag the host bus adapter from the WWN name table
to the host group in the tree. To drag two or more host bus adapters, see the HP StorageWorks
Command View XP user guide for XP Disk Arrays or the HP StorageWorks XP Remote Web
Console user guide for XP12000/XP10000/SVS200 for instructions.
Figure 39 Add New WWN dialog box (when registering a host that was previously connected to the
array)
c. To assign a nickname to the host bus adapter, enter the nickname in the Nickname box, and click
OK.
NOTE: If you select two or more host bus adapters, Add New WWN dialog boxes ( Figure 39 )
appear one after another to let you assign a nickname to each selected HBA. If you do not need to
assign nicknames to HBAs, you can select The remaining WWNs do not need names, and click
OK. If you select this option, the Add New WWN dialog box ( Figure 39 ) no longer appears to
prompt you to assign nicknames.
If the desired host has never been connected via a cable to any port in the array, take the following
steps:
a. In the tree, right-click the host group, and select Add New WWN. The Add New WWN pane
appears.
