Modifying Host Properties

4.

Modify the host properties as needed on the Modify Properties panel. You cannot remove or add a WWN
when the external port is selected.

To rename the host, edit the name in the Name field. The host name can be a maximum of 50 bytes.
You can use the following characters:

A-Z

, a-z, 0-9, -, _, ., @

The host name may include spaces, but cannot consist only of spaces. Leading or trailing spaces are
discarded.

To remove WWNs, select the WWNs, and then click Remove. If only one WWN is set for the host,
you cannot use the Modify Properties – host-name panel to remove the WWN. To remove the last
WWN, you must remove the host (see section

9-8

).

To add a WWN to the host, select Add to display the user prompt, shown in

Figure 9-7

. Enter a WWN

in the following format:
XX.XX.XX.XX.XX.XX.XX.XX (XX: two hexadecimal digits, 16 digits total) (You can omit periods).

Select OK. Repeat this step until you have entered all WWNs.

Properties – host-name panel. If the entered information is correct, select OK to save your changes, or
select Cancel to cancel your request.

If you renamed the host and/or removed WWNs, Device Manager asks you to confirm the modify host
properties operation.
If you added one or more WWNs to a host to which storage is allocated, Device Manager displays a list of
the storage (volumes) for which LUN security is set for the host, as shown in
