Changing the switch name
Switches can be identified by IP address, domain ID, World Wide Name (WWN), or switch names.
Names must begin with an alphabetic character, but otherwise can consist of alphanumeric,
hyphen, and underscore characters. The maximum number of characters is 30, unless FICON
mode is enabled. When FICON mode is enabled, the maximum number of characters is 24.
NOTE
Some system messages identify a switch service by the chassis name. If you assign meaningful
chassis names and switch names, system logs are easier to use.

window” on page 31.
2. Select the Switch tab.
3. Enter a new name in the Name field and click Apply.
