Naming Conventions for Renaming RAID Groups
When changing multiple volume names, the specified "Name" and the suffix numbers "x" are automatically added to RAID groups. However, if the start suffix is "00" or "000", "0" will be added to the "Name".
(Example) Specified RAID group name: RAIDGroup_aaaa (14 characters) and specifying "1" for "Start of Suffix" → Name for created RAID group: RAIDGroup_aaaa1, RAIDGroup_aaaa2, etc.
When the RAID group name including the suffix number has more than 16 characters, the excess number of characters is deleted from the "Name", starting with the last character and a suffix number "~x" will be added. Then, the name will contain only 16 characters.
(Example) Specified RAID group name: RAIDGroup_aaaabb (16 characters) and specifying "100" for "Start of Suffix" → Name for created RAID group: RAIDGroup_aa~100, RAIDGroup_aa~101, etc.
When a RAID group name including the suffix number already exists, the suffix number is increased by one (+1). The suffix number is increased by one (+1) until no RAID group names overlap.
