Naming or renaming storage arrays

You can name, rename, and add comments to a storage array to facilitate identification of the storage array.
Follow these guidelines to name a storage array:
  • Each storage array must be assigned a unique alphanumeric name up to 30 characters long.
  • A name can consist of letters, numbers, and the special characters underscore (_), dash (–), and pound sign (#). No other special characters are allowed.

To rename a selected storage array:

  1. Perform one of these actions:
    • In the AMW, select Setup > Rename Storage Array.
    • In the EMW, select Devices tab Tree view, select Edit > Rename.
    • In the EMW, Devices tab Tree view, right-click the desired array icon and select Rename.
    The Rename Storage Array dialog is displayed.
  2. Type the new name of the storage array.
    NOTE: Avoid arbitrary names or names that may lose meaning in the future.
  3. Click OK.
    A message is displayed warning you about the implications of changing the storage array name.
  4. Click Yes.
    The new storage array name is displayed in the EMW.
  5. Repeat step 1 through step 4 to name or rename additional storage arrays.
