Assigning a name to a port

Port names are optional. You can assign a name to an FC or FCIP port to make port grouping easier.
You can also rename FC and FCIP ports to new names. You cannot rename GbE ports. The Port
Name column in the General tab displays the default port name.
Port names can be from 1 through 128 alphanumeric characters, unless FICON Management
Server (FMS) mode is enabled. If FMS mode is enabled, port names should be limited from 1
through 24 alphanumeric characters. The comma (,), semicolon (;), and "at" symbol (@) are not
allowed.
NOTE
Although it is not required, it is recommended that port names be unique.
To assign a name to a port, perform the following steps.
1. Click a port in the Switch View to open the Port Admin tab.
2. Select the FC Ports tab.
3. From the tree on the left, select the switch or slot that contains the port you want to rename.
4. From the table, select the port you want to rename.
5. Click Rename.
6. Enter a name for the port and click Rename.
