View full device names in Unisphere
In Unisphere by default, the device names are truncated in the "Abcdefg*" fashion after so many characters. How can you get the full display? I know this is possible as I've seen it before, but can't figure out how to do it.
I know there are some symcli environment variables for Solutions Enabler related to full naming, but not sure if that is the key or how they should be set for the change to be propagated to Unisphere. This is for a windows SE/Unisphere server.

Your best bet may be to use the CLI:
C:\Users\klewis>symdev -sid 1234 list -identifier device_name
Symmetrix ID: 000198901234
Device
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sym Config Attr Device Name
---- --------------- ---- -----------------------------------------------------
081C TDEV (M) IBM_S1_RootDisk
0822 TDEV (M) IBM_S1_AltRootDisk
0828 TDEV (M) NPROD_MDRUPGVG_01
082C TDEV (M) NPROD_MDRUPGVG_02
0830 TDEV (M) NPROD_MDRUPGVG_03
0834 TDEV (M) NPROD_MDRUPGVG_04
0838 TDEV (M) NPROD_MDRUPGVG_05
C:\Users\klewis>symdev -sid 1234 list -identifier device_name -devs 0A1C:0A1E
Symmetrix ID: 000198901234
Device
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sym Config Attr Device Name
---- --------------- ---- -----------------------------------------------------
0A16 TDEV (M) CLN2_EPIC_PROD6
0A1E TDEV (M) CLN2_EPIC_PROD7
Let us know if that helps!

Yep good info - I've done that before but some users don't like the CLI (or just having to connect to an additional service to get information).

Looks like the longer names are displayed by default in 8.x versions of Unisphere. Just ran a quick test for you.
