If there are no license keys, licenseShow displays “No licenses.”
Customizing a switch name
Switches can be identified by IP address, Domain ID, World Wide Name (WWN), or by customized
switch names that are unique and meaningful.
Version 4.0.0 (and later) switch names can be from 1 to 15 characters long, must begin with a letter, and
can contain letters, numbers, or the underscore character. It is not necessary to use quotation marks.
IMPORTANT: Only HP StorageWorks SAN products and switches listed in Table 1,”Switch model naming
matrix” on page 17 are available at the time of this document’s release. Check http://www.hp.com
for
latest product updates.
The default name for the following switches is swd77:
• HP StorageWorks 4/16 SAN Switch and 4/8 SAN Switch
• SAN Switch 2/8V
• SAN Switch 2/16V
• SAN Switch 2/32
• SAN Switch 4/32
• 4/64 SAN Switch
• 4/32B SAN Switch
• 400 MP Router
• SAN Director 2/128

NOTE: Changing the switch name causes a domain address format Registered State Change Notification
(RSCN) to be issued, and in older versions of the Fabric OS may be disruptive to the fabric.
