User's Manual

Using the CMC Web Interface 105
•Names may contain a maximum of 15 printable ASCII characters (ASCII
codes 32 through 126), excluding the double quote (
" , ASCII 34). If using
the RACADM command to change the slot name using any special
characters, (~!@#$%^&*), the name string must be enclosed in double
quotes for the environment to pass them correctly to the CMC.
• Slot names must be unique within the chassis. No two slots may have the
same name.
• Strings are not case-sensitive.
Server-1 , server-1 , and SERVER-1
are equivalent names.
• Slot names must not begin with the following strings:
• Switch-
• Fan-
• PS-
• KVM
• DRAC-
• MC-
• Chassis
• Housing-Left
• Housing-Right
• Housing-Center
• The strings Server-1 through Server-16 may be used, but only for
the corresponding slot. For example,
Server-3 is a valid name for slot 3,
but not for slot 4. Note that
Server-03 is a valid name for any slot.
NOTE: To change a slot name, you must have Chassis Configuration
Administrator privilege.
NOTE: The slot name setting in the Web interface resides on the CMC only.
If a server is removed from the chassis, the slot name setting does not remain
with the server.
NOTE: The slot name setting does not extend to the optional iKVM. The slot name
information is available through the iKVM FRU.
NOTE: The slot name setting in the CMC Web interface always overrides any
change you make to the display name in the iDRAC interface.
