I am aware that the max characters for connection names is 9. However i do not want this to look too confusing?
Any ideas?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Solutiona 'high availability' configuration requires two separate fabrics. I would remove the connection between both switches, because it provides no advantage - it just fills your connection table.
You could cut the number down by zoning, but then the connection isn't needed as well.
Your naming looks fine. I put the FCA number at the server name and have the HSG controller and port indicator at the end of the name, but that is just personal taste. It is important that it works for you.

Re: HSG80 Connections via Meshed Fabric Switches
Secure Path is a multipath handler for individual disk LUNs - it does not 'hard switch' between fibre channel adapters. That way you can distribute your LUNs over both HSG-80 controllers in a storage array. I don't know what OS you are using, but on Windows or HP-UX, for example, you can see all paths to a device.
I have heard a rumor that a future version of Secure Path might be able to provide multipathing for tape LUNs, too, but for now you must make sure that a server only has one path to a tape drive / robotic.
