Configuration Planning Tasks Rules for Port Names Port names can be up to 24 alphanumeric characters in length. Spaces, hyphens ( - ), and underscores ( _ ) are allowed within the name. Each port name must be unique for a director; however, the same port name can be used on separate directors and switches. HP recommends unique port names be used, particularly within a complex multi-switch fabric. Example port names include: Lab server Test system-2 Printer_001 Rules for Nicknames Nicknames can be up to 32 alphanumeric characters in length. Spaces, hyphens ( - ), and underscores ( _ ) are allowed within the name. Each nickname must be unique (corresponding to a unique WWN). Example nicknames include: Fabric-1 Host system DASD_001 Task 13: Complete the Planning Worksheet The planning worksheet included in this task is a four-page form that depicts port assignments for a director or switch. The worksheet lists 64 ports, and provides fields to identify devices that connect to the ports. Transfer information from the configuration diagram (completed while performing "Task 11: Diagram the Planned Configuration") to the worksheet, and transfer port names and nicknames (assigned while performing "Task 12: Assign Port Names and Nicknames"). In addition, indicate all unused ports. Retain the planning worksheet as part of a permanent record. SAN High Availability Planning Guide 159
