Creating WWPN aliases

You can use the fcp wwpn-alias set command to create a new WWPN alias.

About this task

You can create multiple aliases for a WWPN, but you cannot use the same alias for multiple WWPNs. The alias can consist of up to 32 characters and can contain only the letters A through Z, a through z, numbers 0 through 9, hyphen ("-"), underscore ("_"), left brace ("{"), right brace ("}"), and period (".").

Step

  1. Enter the following command:
    fcp wwpn-alias set [-f] alias wwpn

    -f allows you to override a WWPN associated with an existing alias with the newly specified WWPN.

    Example

    fcp wwpn-alias set my_alias_1 10:00:00:00:c9:30:80:2f

    Example

    fcp wwpn-alias set -f my_alias_1 11:11:00:00:c9:30:80:2e
