D.3.8.2 Creating Nicknames for Host WWNs
You can give the hosts on your SAN nicknames that you can easily
recognize to make InfoShield easier to manage. For example, you can
use the computer name that has already been assigned to each host.
You can determine which WWN is for which host by starting one host
at a time or scanning for devices from a host, and then viewing the
WWN list. The host that scanned for devices most recently is first on the
list.
You can name up to 63 hosts, but you can only view the last 16 hosts that
started or that you named. The list of 16 changes as you name hosts or
as hosts restart. The nicknames are stored on the SMs, so if you change
SMs, you have to rename the hosts.
To create or change nicknames for WWNs:
1. From the System Menu, select Configuration Menu and press
<Enter>. The Configuration Menu displays.
2. Select General InfoShield and press <Enter>. The General
InfoShield screen displays.
3. Select Add or Name Host and press <Enter>. The Add or Name
Host screen displays the last 16 known WWNs and host nicknames
that you have set up
(Figure 134). If the SM is not aware of any
WWNs, the list is empty and the system asks you to enter a host
WWN.
4. Select Enter New Host to enter a nickname for a new host or select
the WWN you want to name and press <Enter>. The Enter Host
Name screen displays.
5. Enter the nickname you want and press <Enter>. You can enter up
to 16 characters. You can use any combination of characters and
spaces.
