Changing the SPM name of a host bus adapter
Use Server Priority Manager to assign an SPM name to a host bus adapter. Although you can identify host bus adapters by WWNs, you might be able to identify host bus adapters more easily if you assign SPM names. WWNs are 16-digit hexadecimal numbers that cannot be changed, whereas SPM names need not be 16-digit hexadecimal numbers and can be changed as needed.
For details about assigning SPM names, see Monitoring all port-HBA traffic: many-to-many connections.
