Renaming an enclosure

You can rename an enclosure with the VEA GUI to make it easier to identify.

An enclosure can also be renamed with the vxedit CLI command.

SFW provides an enclosure node in the tree view to represent the enclosure for the internal disks of your server. This enclosure cannot be renamed.

Renaming an enclosure in a cluster environment only renames the enclosure on the node that the rename operation occurs. You need to rename the enclosure on each of the other nodes in the cluster to maintain the same enclosure name throughout the cluster.

To rename an enclosure

  1. Expand the Enclosures node in the tree view.
  2. Right-click the desired enclosure node.
  3. Select Rename Enclosure from the context menu.

    A dialog box appears to rename the enclosure.

  4. Enter the new name of the enclosure.
  5. Click OK to complete the operation.
