when the external port is selected.
• To rename the host, edit the name in the Name field. The host name can be a maximum of 50 bytes.
You can use the following characters:
A-Z
, a-z, 0-9, -, _, ., @
The host name may include spaces, but cannot consist only of spaces. Leading or trailing spaces are
discarded.
• To remove WWNs, select the WWNs, and then click Remove. If only one WWN is set for the host,
you cannot use the Modify Properties – host-name panel to remove the WWN. To remove the last
WWN, you must remove the host (see section
9-8 ).
• To add a WWN to the host, select Add to display the user prompt, shown in Figure 9-7 . Enter a WWN
in the following format:
XX.XX.XX.XX.XX.XX.XX.XX (XX: two hexadecimal digits, 16 digits total) (You can omit periods).
• Select OK. Repeat this step until you have entered all WWNs.

properties operation.
If you added one or more WWNs to a host to which storage is allocated, Device Manager displays a list of
the storage (volumes) for which LUN security is set for the host, as shown in
Figure 9-8 .
