Appendix C Naming Conventions of Volumes and Hosts
C.2 Naming Convention of Hosts
■
Naming conventions for renaming iSCSI hosts
The following naming conventions apply when renaming iSCSI hosts:
•
When one iSCSI host has been selected, the iSCSI host name is changed to the entered
name.
•
When multiple iSCSI hosts have been selected, the iSCSI host names are changed in the
order of the present iSCSI host names.
•
When multiple iSCSI hosts have been selected, the iSCSI host names are changed to the
entered name with "_" and consecutive suffix numbers added respectively.
[Example]
•
When a new iSCSI 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 iSCSI host name, and "~" and a suffix number are added, so that the name with
the suffix number has 16 characters.
[Example]
•
When an iSCSI 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 iSCSI host names
overlap.
C.2.3
For SAS Hosts
■
Naming conventions for adding SAS hosts
The following naming conventions apply when adding SAS hosts:
•
A name is automatically added to a host with the "SAS host group name" and a suffix number
"_x" (serial numbers starting with "0").
[Example]
•
When the host name including the suffix number "_x" has more than 16 characters, the
excess number of characters is deleted from the "SAS host group name", starting with the last
character and a suffix number "~x" will be added. Then, the name will contain only 16
characters.
[Example]
•
When a 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 host names overlap.
When specifying "Host_ABC" (8 characters) as the iSCSI 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
iSCSI hosts.
When specifying "Host_ABCDEFGHIJK" (16 characters) as the iSCSI host name and
specifying "10" for "Start of Suffix"
N a m e s s u c h a s " H o s t _ A B C D E F G H ~ 1 0 " , " H o s t _ A B C D E F G H ~ 11 " , a n d
"Host_ABCDEFGH~12" are used for iSCSI hosts.
When specifying "HOST_Group_001" (14 characters) as the host group name
Names such as "HOST_Group_001_0" and "HOST_Group_001_1" are used for SAS
host groups.
When specifying "HOST_Group_ABCDE" (16 characters) as the host group name
Names such as "HOST_Group_ABC~0" and "HOST_Group_ABC~1" are used for SAS
host groups.
