Naming a Unit

Units can be given unique names to more easily identify them. A unit can be
assigned a name when it is created. It can also be named or renamed at a later
time.

To name or rename a unit through 3DM

1

Make sure the appropriate controller is selected in the drop-down list at
the right of the menu bar.

2

Choose

Management > Controller Settings

from the menu bar in 3DM.

3

In the

Unit Names

section of the Controller Settings page, locate the unit

for which you want to change the name.

Note:

If the drive you designated as a spare is not large enough to replace a failed

drive in a fault-tolerant unit, or if there is not a fault-tolerant unit for the spare to
support, 3BM will notify you.
