Brocade 200e - Switch Name

[bcochran1]

Can I change a switch name without affecting anything else?

Basically I have a small SAN, two Brocade 200e switches connected to a Clariion CX3-20. During installation the switches were configured, probably the default setting, with the same name "SW200E". Now I want to rename both to "SW200E_A" and "SW200E_B". I know where to do this in the web tools but I don't know if there are any consequences.

Thanks in advance for your input.

telnet to the switch
type switchname <new name>
that's it

Your fabric is set up using domain ids, not names.

Or in webtools on the fly, works as well. No problems there.
