Using the CMC Web Interface 99
Editing Slot Names
The Slot Names page allows you to update slot names in the chassis. Slot
names are used to identify individual servers. When choosing slot names, the
following rules apply:
• Names may contain a maximum of 15 printable ASCII characters (ASCII
codes 32 through 126), excluding the double quote (
" , ASCII 34). If using
the RACADM command to change the slot name using any special
characters, (~!@#$%^&*), the name string must be enclosed in double
quotes for the environment to pass them correctly to the CMC.
• Slot names must be unique within the chassis. No two slots may have the
same name.
• Strings are not case-sensitive.
Server-1 , server-1 , and SERVER-1
are equivalent names.
• Slot names must not begin with the following strings:
• Switch-
• Fan-
• PS-
• KVM
• DRAC-
• MC-
• Chassis
• Housing-Left
• Housing-Right
• Housing-Center
• The strings Server-1 through Server-16 may be used, but only for
the corresponding slot. For example,
Server-3 is a valid name for slot 3,
but not for slot 4. Note that
Server-03 is a valid name for any slot.
NOTE: To change a slot name in the Web interface, you must have Chassis
Configuration Administrator privilege.
NOTE: The slot name setting in the Web interface resides on the CMC only. If a
server is removed from the chassis, the slot name setting does not remain with the
server.
