Rename the Host Connections

To better identify which hosts you are working with, HP recommends that you rename the host

connections, using a meaningful connection name for each. Each HBA appears as a

connection. An HBA can be identified by its WWN, which you recorded when you installed

the HBAs, and which appears in the connection description.

Initially, each connection is named !NEWCONxx. It is much easier to track connections if the

connection names are meaningful, like “HostA1.”

Note: If you use scripting to automate failover and failback operations, do not use dashes (hyphens)

as separators in your naming convention—use underscores instead. Dashes are not allowed by the

Perl scripting language.

I 1. We suggest that you use the worksheet in Figure 19 on page 76 when renaming your hosts.

I 2. When you have completed the worksheet, rename the connections:

RENAME !NEWCONxx TargetHostConnectionNamex

RENAME !NEWCONxx TargetHostConnectionNamey

Example: rename !NEWCONxx HostA1

Example: rename !NEWCONxx HostA2

I 3. Set the operating system for each connection to NetWare:

SET TargetHostConnectionNamex OPERATING_SYSTEM = NETWARE

Example: set HostA1 operating_system = netware

Example: set HostA2 operating_system = netware

I 4. When you have finished renaming your host connections, verify your settings:

SHOW CONNECTIONS

You should see a display similar to that in Example Display 49.
