Device aliases have the following requirements:

• You can only assign device aliases to pWWNs.
• The mapping between the pWWN and the device alias to which it is mapped must have a one-to-one relationship. A pWWN can be mapped to only one device alias and vice versa.
• A device alias name is restricted to 64 alphanumeric characters and may include one or more of the following characters:
• a to z and A to Z
• 1 to 9
• - (hyphen) and _ (underscore)
• $ (dollar sign) and ^ (up caret)
