Changing the 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.
Switch names can be a maximum of 15 characters for Fabric OS v4.x. They must begin with an
alphabetic character, but otherwise can consist of any combination of alphanumeric and underscore
characters.
To change the switch name:
1. Launch the Switch Admin module as described on page 43.
2. Click the Switch tab.
3. Enter a new name in the Name field.
4. Click Apply.
NOTE: With Fabric OS v4.x, HP recommends that you customize the chassis name for each switch. Some
system messages identify a switch service by chassis name, so if you assign meaningful chassis names in
addition to meaningful switch names, logs are more useful. Change the chassis name using the CLI. Refer
to the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 4.x procedures user guide for instructions on changing the chassis
name.
Changing the switch domain ID
Although domain IDs are assigned dynamically when a switch is enabled, you can request a specific ID to
resolve a domain ID conflict when you merge fabrics.
To change the switch domain ID:
1. Launch the Switch Admin module as described on page 43.
2. Disable the switch, as described in ”Enabling and disabling a switch” on page 46.
3. Click the Switch tab.
4. Enter a new domain ID in the Domain ID field (the domain ID is an integer between 1 and 239).
5. Click Apply.
6. Enable the switch, as described in ”Enabling and disabling a switch” on page 46.
Viewing and printing a switch report
The switch report includes the following information:
• A list of switches in the fabric
• Switch configuration parameters
• A list of ISLs and ports
• Name Server information
• Zoning information
• SFP serial ID information
