Assigning and renaming device aliases

Every device has a device name and an alias name. Alias names make it easier to reference the
devices. Alias names are displayed in the zone access map on the Zoning page. You can assign or
rename the alias names using the following procedure.
1. Select Modify Alias under Devices in the task panel.

Aliases wizard is started, the New Alias column is pre-populated with default aliases. You can
click OK to accept the default aliases, or click Cancel if you do not want to assign aliases. Note
that if an alias is not assigned, the devices are identified only by WWN. A good alias name
makes it much easier to identify devices.
If you want to edit the alias, go on to step 2.
