A. Identify Which Attribute you wish to modify

You can modify any of the following attributes:

• OS Type(Standard, HPUX, Windows with Emulex HBA's)
• Description
• Initiator Name
• Storage Domain

Once you know which attribute to modify, continue to Step B.

Note 1: The -w does not allow you to modify the World Wide Name(WWN) of the initiator, you must delete the initiator to make this change. Reference document <Document: 1018215.1> Validating Initiator Deletion on a Sun StorEdge[TM] 6920

Note 2: You cannot change the Storage Domain of an initiator in the state of Allocated. Reference document <Document: 1011349.1> Validating Initiator State and Details for a Sun StorEdge[TM] 6920

B. Modifying the OS Type, Details, and Initiator Name

SSCS

sscs modify -d <new desc> -o <standard|hpux|emulex> -N <new name> initiator <name>

example:

sscs modify -d "Test case" -o emulex -N new_init -S new_domain initiator old_init

This will add a description, Test case, change the OS Type to Windows with Emulex HBA, change the Storage Domain to new_domain and the initiator name to new_init.

BUI

1. Click Configuration Services or Common Array Manager.
2. Click Physical Storage Tab or Menu tree
3. Click on the Initiator Name
4. Change the Name, Description, OS Type, or Domain as desired.
5. Click Save

• If you received an error during modification, go to Step C.
• If you received no error, validate your change. Reference document <Document: 1011349.1>  Validating Initiator State and Details for a Sun StorEdge[TM] 6920

C. Pool Modification Failure

Please review the following list for a failure message and corresponding action. Please follow the action that describes your symptom.

Message:
You cannot change the storage domain of a mapped initiator.; operation failed.

Action:
You must unmap any volumes from the initiator, prior to changing the Storage Domain. Reference document <Document: 1005606.1> Validating Mapping Deletion for Volumes and Initiators for a Sun StorEdge[TM] 6290

Message:
Error: The operation failed.

Action:
Please go to Step D
