A well-chosen name serves both as a label for an object and as a tool for tracking and  managing the object. Choosing a meaningful name is important if you decide to use  configuration backup and restore. When you choose a name for an object, apply the following naming rules: Important : Do not start names by using an underscore (_) character, even though it is  possible. The use of the underscore as the first character of a name is a reserved  naming convention that is used by the system configuration restore process. To rename the system from the System pane, complete the following steps: 2. The pane opens (see Figure 5-85 on page 185). Specify a new name for the system and  click  Rename . 1. Click  Actions  in the upper-left corner of the System pane, as shown in Figure 5-84. Figure 5-84 Actions on the System pane GLYPH<SM590000> Objects can be renamed to their current names. GLYPH<SM590000> The default object name is valid (object prefix with an integer). GLYPH<SM590000> Object names must be unique within the object type. For example, you can have a volume  called ABC and an MDisk called ABC, but you cannot have two volumes called ABC. GLYPH<SM590000> Names must not begin or end with a space. GLYPH<SM590000> Valid characters are uppercase letters (A - Z), lowercase letters (a - z), digits (0 - 9), the  underscore (_) character, a period (.), a hyphen (-), and a space. GLYPH<SM590000> The name can be a maximum of 63 characters, but exceptions exist. The name can be a  maximum of 15 characters for Remote Copy relationships and groups. The  lsfabric command displays long object names that are truncated to 15 characters for nodes and  systems. V5.1.0 systems display truncated volume names when they are partnered with a  version V6.1.0 or later system that has volumes with long object names  ( lsrcrelationshipcandidate  or  lsrcrelationship  commands). GLYPH<SM590000> The first character cannot be numeric. GLYPH<SM590000> Names must begin with a letter. 184  Implementing the IBM Storwize V7000 with IBM Spectrum Virtualize V8.2.1
