Switches can be identified by IP address, domain ID, World Wide Name (WWN), or switch names.
Names must begin with an alphabetic character, but otherwise can consist of alphanumeric,
hyphen, and underscore characters. The maximum number of characters is 30, unless FICON
mode is enabled. When FICON mode is enabled, the maximum number of characters is 24.
