Saving Device Aliases to the Switch

If you choose to use global device aliases on Fabric Manager Server, these changes are not reflected on the local switch. The switch continues to use FC aliases until you save the device aliases to the switch.

To save global device aliases on a switch using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:

  1. Expand Switches, expand End Devices then select Hosts or Storage in the Physical Attributes pane. You see the end devices in the Information pane.
  2. For each device alias that you want the switch to recognize, highlight it, right-click the Device Alias icon, and select Save Selected Device Aliases.
