Device information and nicknames Devices are hosts and storage targets connected to the switch. A nickname is a user-definable, meaningful name that can be used in place of the WWN. The following describes how to view and manage device information and nicknames. Devices data window The Devices data window (Figure 14) displays information about name server devices and proxied devices (from configuration of TR ports) connected to the switch. To display the Devices data window, click the Devices tab below the data window. Figure 14 Devices data window Because remote devices are proxied, there are limitations in available information: • The Details button is disabled. • The Target/Initiator field always reads "Unknown". • The Vendor field text is decoded from the OUI in the Port WWN, rather than potentially being read from the FC4Descriptors, as is the case with local devices. • The proxied devices are indicated in the Device data window by italic text and the notation "(TR)" after the port number. • Proxied devices are also grayed-out in the Active Zoneset data window. See Active Zoneset data window, page 34 for more information. HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch QuickTools Switch Management User Guide 31
