Change Device Display Name

Hi,

my pquestion is this;

When i run this command ;

# esxcli nmp device list -d naa.6006016055351f00506decc0459cde11

naa.6006016055351f00506decc0459cde11

Device Display Name: DGC Fibre Channel Disk (naa.6006016055351f00506decc0459cde11)

Storage Array Type: VMW_SATP_CX

Storage Array Type Device Config: {navireg ipfilter}

Path Selection Policy: VMW_PSP_MRU

Path Selection Policy Device Config: Current Path=vmhba0:C0:T2:L0

Working Paths: vmhba0:C0:T2:L0

I have the information for specific LUN attach at my esx host.

For change information "Device Display Name" is possible with vSphere Client, but is possible change this information with command line on

ESX host?

Thanks for help.

Hi Frank,

my problem is not rename a datastore but change the Display name LUNs that are presented to the server.

For example;

now i have this ( esxcfg-mpath -l;

Runtime Name: vmhba0:C0:T0:L0

Device: naa.6006016055351f00506decc0459cde11

Device Display Name: DGC Fibre Channel Disk (naa.6006016055351f00506decc0459cde11)

Adapter: vmhba0 Channel: 0 Target: 0 LUN: 0

Adapter Identifier: fc.50060b0000c19085:50060b0000c19084

Target Identifier: fc.50060160b9a03aed:5006016039a03aed

Plugin: NMP

State: standby

Transport: fc

Adapter Transport Details: WWNN: 50:06:0b:00:00:c1:90:85 WWPN: 50:06:0b:00:00:c1:90:84

Target Transport Details: WWNN: 50:06:01:60:b9:a0:3a:ed WWPN: 50:06:01:60:39:a0:3a:ed

With vCenter i rename the "Device Display Name" so;

Runtime Name: vmhba0:C0:T0:L0

Device: naa.6006016055351f00506decc0459cde11

Device Display Name: LUN_PIPPO

Adapter: vmhba0 Channel: 0 Target: 0 LUN: 0

Adapter Identifier: fc.50060b0000c19085:50060b0000c19084

Target Identifier: fc.50060160b9a03aed:5006016039a03aed

Plugin: NMP

State: standby

Transport: fc

Adapter Transport Details: WWNN: 50:06:0b:00:00:c1:90:85 WWPN: 50:06:0b:00:00:c1:90:84

Target Transport Details: WWNN: 50:06:01:60:b9:a0:3a:ed WWPN: 50:06:01:60:39:a0:3a:ed

But i want rename with command-line.

Thanks for your reply,

I can be useful for other activities
