Object naming

All objects in a cluster have names that are user-defined or system-generated.

When creating an object, choose a meaningful name. If you do not choose a name for the object, the system generates one for you. A well-chosen name serves not only as a label for an object, but also a tool for keeping track of that object and managing it. Choosing a meaningful name is particularly important if you decide to use configuration backup and restore.

Naming rules

The following rules apply when choosing a name for an object:
  • The first character cannot be numeric
  • The name can be a maximum of 15 characters
