■ Naming conventions for renaming SAS hosts
The following naming conventions apply when renaming SAS hosts:
• The SAS hosts, which were selected on the [Now Connected] screen, are named, and then
the SAS hosts, which were specified on the [Manual Input] screen, are named next.
• The name of the host, which was already named, will also be changed.
• When one SAS host has been selected, the SAS host name is changed to the entered name.
• When multiple SAS hosts have been selected, the SAS host names are changed in the order
of the present SAS host names.
• When multiple SAS hosts have been selected, the SAS host names are changed to the
entered name with "_" and consecutive suffix numbers added respectively.
[Example]
When specifying "Host_ABC" (8 characters) as the SAS host name and specifying "10" for
"Start of Suffix"
Names such as "Host_ABC_10", "Host_ABC_11", and "Host_ABC_12" are used for
SAS hosts.
• When a new SAS host name including "_" and the suffix number has more than 16
characters, the excess number of characters starting with the last character is deleted from
the entered SAS host name, and "~" and a suffix number are added, so that the name with
the suffix number has 16 characters.
[Example]
When specifying "Host_ABCDEFGHIJK" (16 characters) as the SAS host name and
specifying "10" for "Start of Suffix"
Names such as "Host_ABCDEFGH~10", "Host_ABCDEFGH~11", and
"Host_ABCDEFGH~12" are used for iSCSI hosts.
• When a SAS host 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 SAS host names
overlap.
