Naming Conventions of Volumes and Hosts
This appendix describes the naming conventions for volumes and hosts.
E.1 Naming Convention of Volumes
■ Naming conventions for creating volumes
The following naming conventions apply when creating volumes:
• When creating multiple volumes, the specified "Name" and the suffix numbers "x" (serial numbers starting
with "0") are automatically added to volumes.
[Example]
When specifying "StandardVolume" (14 characters) as the volume name
Names such as "StandardVolume0" and "StandardVolume1" are used for new volumes.
• When the volume name including the suffix number "x" has more than 16 characters, the excess number
of characters is deleted from the "Name", starting with the last character and a suffix number "~x" will be
added. Then, the name will contain only 16 characters.
[Example]
When specifying "Standard_Volume0" (16 characters) as the volume name
Names such as "Standard_Volume~0" and "Standard_Volume~1" are used for new volumes.
• When a volume name including the suffix number already exists, the suffix number is increased by one
(+1). The suffix number is increased by one (+1) until no volume names overlap.
■ Naming conventions for renaming volumes
The following naming conventions apply when renaming volumes.
• When changing multiple volume names, the specified "Name" and the suffix numbers "x" are
automatically added to volumes. Note that if the start suffix is "00" or "000", "0" will be added to the
"Name".
[Example]
When specifying "StandardVolume" (14 characters) as the volume name and specifying "1" for "Start of
Suffix"
Names such as "StandardVolume1" and "StandardVolume2" are used for new volumes.
• When the volume name including the suffix number has more than 16 characters, the excess number of
characters is deleted from the "Name", starting with the last character and a suffix number "~x" will be
added. Then, the name will contain only 16 characters.
[Example]
When specifying "Standard_Volume1" (16 characters) as the volume name and specifying "100" for
"Start of Suffix"
Names such as "Standard_Volume~100" and "Standard_Volume~101" are used for new volumes.
• When a volume name including the suffix number already exists, the suffix number is increased by one
(+1). The suffix number is increased by one (+1) until no volume names overlap.
