Renaming nodes

Use the Renaming Node panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to change the current name of the node. Changing the node name alters the iSCSI qualified name (IQN), which can require reconfiguration of the iSCSI-attached host. If you still want to rename the node, click Force Rename.

Attributes

The following attributes are displayed in the table:
Node Name
Displays the current name of the node.
Node ID
Displays the system-assigned ID of the node.
WWNN
Displays the worldwide node name.
I/O Group
Displays the name of the I/O group that this node belongs to. The default name is the string io_grp, which is followed by the system-assigned ID.

Fields

You can update the following fields:

New Name
Enter a new name for the node.

Actions

The following actions are available:

OK
Click this button to rename the node.
Force Rename
Click this button to rename the node even though iSCSI-attached hosts may require reconfiguration as a result.
Note: This action only displays if the node that is being renamed attaches to iSCSI hosts.
Cancel
Click this button to exit the panel with without renaming the node.
