HBAnyware enables you to change HBA names. For example, you may want
to identify a particular HBA with the function it supports, such as a
"tape drive", "scanner", or some other device.
You can use any characters you want for names, and names can be up
to 255 characters in length. You
may also revert to the HBA's default name if you wish.
| Note |
Although
you can change the HBA's displayed name from the default WWPN,
the change occurs in the discovery-tree only. The
WWPN is still active, it is simply replaced for display purposes
with the name you enter.
For
example, the Port WWPN field of the General tab is not changed. Also,
any change you make to the HBA names in your discovery-tree will be seen
only by you; people running HBAnyware on another host will not see your
name changes. |
To change the name of an HBA:
-
Start HBAnyware.
-
From the discovery-tree, select the HBA whose name you wish to
change.
Do one of the following:
Select
Edit Name from the Adapter menu. From the discovery-tree, right-click the HBA
whose name you wish to change and select Edit Name.
Edit the HBA name in
the discovery-tree.
To use the HBA's default name:
-
Start HBAnyware
-
From the discovery-tree, select the HBA whose name you wish to
change.
Do one of the following:
Select
Use Default Name from the Adapter menu. From the discovery-tree, right-click the HBA
whose name you wish to change and select Use Default Name.
