node name in symmaskdb list database

Hello, i'm trying to get informations from VCMDB through the following command but some node names are replaced with fc WWN, and fc name with WWN too, How to change this ? Is it a zoning information, a VCMDB information, a fc info, a host info ?

[root@hpxjy070>>symmaskdb -sid ... list database | more

Symmetrix ID : ...

User-generated
Identifier Type Node Name Port Name Devices
---------------- ----- --------------------------------- ---------

in addition to Mark's suggestion ..if you have hosts that do not have symcli installed but you still want those systems to show up with meaningful names in the database you can use this command to manually rename them:

symmask -sid 123 -wwn 50060b000024585a rename hpxjy02/td1

The names come from the VCMdb.

You can populate this field for each host which has VCMdb visibility by running "symmask discover hba -rename". This will place the hostname in the "User Generated" node name field. This is equivalent to the old "vcmfind" utility.

Hope that helps!
