Appendix C Naming Conventions of Volumes and
Hosts
This chapter describes the naming conventions for volumes and hosts.
C.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.
[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.
