Changing the Performance Control Name of an HBA
Use the Performance Control window to assign a Performance Control name to an HBA. Although
you can identify HBAs by WWNs, you will be able to identify HBAs more easily if you assign
Performance Control names. WWNs are 16-digit hexadecimal numbers and cannot be changed.
However, Performance Control names do not need to be 16-digit hexadecimal numbers and can be
changed.
The following is the procedure for changing an already assigned Performance Control name. For
details on how to assign a Performance Control name, see “
Monitoring All Traffic between HBAs and
Ports ” on page 37.
To change a Performance Control name:
1. Start XP Performance Control (see “ Starting XP Performance Control ” on page 32).
The Performance Control window is displayed.
2. Ensure that the WWN tab is displayed ( Figure 4 on page 20).
3.
In the upper-left tree, select an HBA ( ) from below Monitor and then right-click the selection.
4. From the pop-up menu, select Change WWN and Performance Control Name.
The Change WWN and Performance Control Name window is displayed (
Figure 14 ).
5. Enter a new Performance Control name in the Performance Control Name box and then click
OK.
6. In the Performance Control window, click Apply.
The settings in the window are applied to the storage system.
