You can modify the group name and IP address, although you should change them only when necessary. • The group name identifies the group on the network. Group names must be unique in your network environment. A group name can consist of 1 to 54 ASCII characters (letters, numbers, or hyphens). The first ASCII character must be a letter or number. • The group IP address is the network address for the group. You use the group IP address as the iSCSI discovery address when connecting initiators to iSCSI targets in the group. You also use the group IP address to access the group for management purposes, unless you configured a dedicated management network. • If you are using IPv6 addresses exclusively in the group, you must use the CLI to change the group IP address. See the Dell EqualLogic Group Manager CLI Reference Guide for more information. • If you have replication partners configured, you must update those groups with the changes.
