11.2.1 Rename Storage Subsystem
If you have several storage subsystems installed in your environment, you should give each
subsystem a meaningful name, so that you can distinguish between the systems. When you
first add the storage subsystem to your Storage Manager it is identified as "Unnamed". You
can assign a name to it during the initial setup ( 4.4.2, "Rename the storage subsystem" on
page 62), or later using this option.
If you are not sure of which name is assigned to a specific storage subsystem, see 4.4.1,
"Locate the storage subsystem" on page 61 or "Locate Storage Subsystem or Enclosures" on
page 254 for instructions.
Rules of naming
Use these rules when assigning names to your disk subsystems:
Names can contain a maximum of 30 characters
Names can include letters, numbers, and the special characters underscore (_), minus (-),
and pound sign (#). No other special characters are permitted.
Use a clear meaningful name that is easy to understand and to remember. Avoid arbitrary
names or names that lose their meaning in the future.
