Figure 2 Default naming conventions for snapshots and SmartClone volumes
Changing naming conventions
Change the elements that use a default naming convention or change the naming convention itself.
If you use the given defaults, the resulting names look like those in Table 2 (page 16). Notice that
the volume name carries into all the snapshot elements, including SmartClone volumes, which are
created from a snapshot.
Table 2 Example of how default names work
ExampleDefault nameElement
VOL_VOL_ExchLogs_SS_3_1VOL_SmartClone Volumes
VOL_ExchLogs_SS_1_SS_Snapshots
VOL_RemoteBackup_RS_1_RS_Remote Snapshots
VOL_ExchLogs_Sch_SS_2.1_Sch_SS_Schedules to Snapshot a Volume
VOL_ExchLogs_Sch_RS_2_Pri.1,
VOL_RemoteBackup_Sch_RS_1_Rmt.1
_Sch_RS_Schedules to Remote Snapshot a
Volume
If you delete all the default names from the Preferences Naming window, the only automatically
generated naming elements that remain will incrementally number a series of snapshots or
SmartClone volumes.

this product guide describes other methods to create storage, as well as detailed information on
features of the iSCSI SAN.
