Providing

user-friendly names for XP and XP7 disk arrays

HP

XP7 Performance Advisor enables you to provide unique, user-friendly names for the

monitored

XP and XP7 disk arrays. Accordingly, the user-friendly names appear beside the

respective

XP and the XP7 disk array serial numbers on all those HP XP7 Performance Advisor

screens,

where the array records are displayed. To provide a user-friendly name for an XP or an

XP7

disk array:

1.

Click Customize Settings+Personalize Arrays in the left pane.

The

Personalize Arrays screen appears. The serial numbers of all the monitored XP and XP7

disk

arrays are listed under Array DKC. By default, the serial numbers also appear under

Alias.

2.

Navigate

to the XP/XP7 disk array serial number for which you want to provide a user

friendly

name and enter a name of your choice under Alias.

The user-friendly name is case-sensitive and must have a minimum of two characters. It can
accept a maximum of 80 alphanumeric characters, which includes special characters, such
as the underscore (_) and the apostrophe ('). You can also add a space in the name.

3.

Click Save. A confirmation message appears to indicate that the changes are updated.

Click

OK. The user-friendly name appears under Alias and also displayed beside all occurrences

of

the XP/XP7 disk array serial number.

If

you do not want to retain a user-friendly name for an XP or an XP7 disk array, erase the

name

from the corresponding text box under Alias and click Save. HP XP7 Performance

Advisor

displays an informative message that the changes are updated. Click OK to confirm

and

continue. In this case, only the XP/XP7 disk array serial number is displayed on all the

HP

XP7 Performance Advisor screens, where the array records are displayed.
