Nicknames
Nicknames replace the standard 8-byte World Wide Names of switches, directors,
and attached nodes. By setting a nickname, you can assign a more meaningful
name than a WWN. When you assign a nickname, the nickname replaces the
World Wide Name in the HAFM views.
Note: Nicknames may have a maximum of 32 characters.
Adding Nicknames
To add a nickname:
1. Choose Configure > Nicknames.
The Configure Nicknames dialog box displays with existing nicknames that
have already been configured (
Figure 31 ).
Figure 31: Configure Nicknames dialog box
The left column in the dialog box shows the selected WWN, while the right
column shows the assigned nickname.
Note: If no nicknames are configured, the World Wide Name and Nickname
columns are blank.
