Assigning a Switch Name

Each switch in the fabric requires a unique name. You can assign names to easily identify the switch by its physical location, its SAN association, or the organization to which it is deployed. The assigned name is displayed in the command-line prompt. The switch name is limited to 20 alphanumeric characters. To change the name of a switch using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:

  1. Expand SAN in the Logical Domains pane, select a fabric or a VSAN from the Logical Domains pane.
  2. Expand Switches in the Physical Attributes pane.
  3. Double-click the Logical Name of the switch you want to change in the Information pane.
  4. Type the new name of the switch .
  5. Click the Apply Changes icon.
  6. Right-click the Fabric pane map and choose Refresh to see your changes.
