Names
You can use Names as a method of providing familiar simple names to products and ports in your
SAN. Using your Management application you can:
• Set names to be unique or non-unique.
• Fix duplicate names.
• Associate a name with a product or port WWN currently being discovered.
• Add a WWN and an associated name for a product or port that is not yet being discovered.
• Remove or disassociate a name from a WWN.
Setting names to be unique
You can edit duplicate names so that each device has a unique name. Note that the Duplicated
Names dialog box only displays when you set names to be unique and there are duplicate names in
the system.
To edit duplicate names, complete the following steps.
1. Select SAN > Options.
The Options dialog box displays (Figure 41).
