4 Renaming Fabric Components Renaming Fabric Components You can rename the following SAN elements in Fabric Manager: • Fabric • Switch • Port • Switch Group • Port Group • Device Renaming a Fabric When you discover a fabric, Fabric Manager assigns a name to that fabric that matches the name of the switch that you used to discover the fabric. For example, to monitor a fabric that includes Switch_01, enter the IP address of Switch_01 in the Fabric Discovery Login dialog box to discover the fabric. Fabric Manager then names that fabric Switch_01. Note Fabric names and device names are concepts used only by Fabric Manager. Removing or renaming fabric names and device names apply only to the Fabric Manager server. After you discover the fabric, you can assign a more meaningful name (for example, mktng_SAN or HQ). Fabric information is global and any changes you make to the fabric, including renaming the fabric, are displayed to all users connected to the Fabric Manager server. No information is copied or changed on any switches. To rename a fabric 1. Right-click the fabric that you want to rename and select Rename from the context menu. 2. Type a new name for the fabric and click OK. Renaming a Switch Switch information is global and any changes you make to the switch, including renaming the switch, are displayed to all users connected to the server. Note Renaming a switch changes the switch configuration and affects all Fabric Manager servers accessing the switch. Switches can be identified by IP address, domain ID, World Wide Name (WWN), or customized switch names that are unique and meaningful. 4-10 Fabric Manager Administrator's Guide Publication Number: 53-1000196-01-HP
