ABSTRACT:
A system and method are provided for reassigning port names to ports (e.g. Fibre Channel ports, etc.). This is accomplished by allowing for user involvement during the port name assignment process. By this feature, port names may be assigned and reassigned, as desired, without re-wiring cables or re-configuring storage network so that disruption to host traffic can be minimized. To this end, in various embodiments, the port names are capable of being maintained in a consistent manner after replacement of such hardware, by appropriately reassigning the port names, etc.
