Changing the Performance Control Name of an HBA
The Performance Control window allows you to assign a Performance Control name to a HBA. Although
you can identify HBAs by WWNs, you will be able to identify HBAs more easily if you assign
Performance Control names. WWNs are 16-digit hexadecimal numbers and cannot be changed.
However, Performance Control names do not need to be 16-digit hexadecimal numbers and can be
changed.
The following is the procedure for changing an already assigned Performance Control name. For
details on how to assign a Performance Control name, see
“
Monitoring All Traffic between HBAs and Ports ” on page 39.

1. Start XP Performance Control (see “ Starting Performance Control ” on page 34).
The Performance Control window is displayed.
2. Ensure that the WWN tab is displayed ( Figure 4 on page 21).

OK.
NOTE:
You can use up to 16 characters for a Performance Control name.
