Specifying the Enclosure Name

For the StorEdge A5000 disk array, you can select a device or interface board using the world wide name (WWN) instead of the path name. The WWN is a unique 16-digit hexadecimal value that specifies either the port used to access the device or the device itself. A typical WWN value is 2200002037000f96.

You can also specify the name of the StorEdge A5000 disk array and an identifier for the particular device in the enclosure. A device in a StorEdge A5000 disk array is identified as follows:

---

BOX_NAME,[f|r]slot_number
