Naming a connection

This command is used to name the association between the Fibre Channel Initiator

operating system (connection profile) of the server. The name given to a
connection is user defined, according to a naming convention that makes
identification and setup of the ACL for each connection easier.

you can use this command to manually add, name, and identify the connection.
