Old server name shows in PowerPath Storage Group

We have a Windows 2003 R2 box connected via a pair of switches to an AX4 over dual FC.

When the box was put in it was called NameA and when we retired the server it was replacing, it was renamed to NameB.

On my AX4, when Navisphere Agent registers with the AX4 it shoes as NameB which is obviously correct.

When I'm on the server, if I go into PowerPath, in the "Storage Groups" tab the name is still showing as "NameA.domain.com".

I appreciate it's only cosmetic but is there a simple way for a neat freak to change this?

see if you can find this file "powermt.custom". You can try renaming it to powermt.old and reboot the system.

Thanks for the reply.

I don't have that file.

I've searched the entire drive (the c:\program files\emc\powercommon and c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc folders especially) with show hidden and system files enabled, so not sure where to look now, or what to look for?

not sure ..i don't even see "storage group" on my host, must be an AX4 only field. I would open an information ticket with support, there's got to by some kind of utility/procedure to rename it.

Where is the 'storage groups tab'?

In Powerpath for hosts that are connected to CLARiiON arrays, when you select 'Disks' from the tree on the left here is a Storage Group column. That column displays the name of the Storage Group in Navisphere to which the host belongs.
