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 “HostB1.”
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.
T 1. We suggest that you use the worksheet in Figure 19 on page 76 when renaming your hosts.
T 2. When you have completed the worksheet, rename the connections:
RENAME !NEWCONxx TargetHostConnectionNamex
RENAME !NEWCONxx TargetHostConnectionNamey
Example: rename !NEWCONxx HostB1
Example: rename !NEWCONxx HostB2
T 3. Set the operating system for each connection to Windows (NT is the setting for both
Windows NT and Windows 2000):
SET TargetHostConnectionNamex OPERATING_SYSTEM = WINNT
Example: set HostB1 operating_system = winnt
Example: set HostB2 operating_system = winnt
T 4. When you have finished renaming your host connections, confirm your new settings:
SHOW CONNECTIONS
You should see a display similar to that in Example Display 19.
