Editing or Renaming Attributes
To edit attributes
Not all attribute details can be modified. For example, System Attribute details cannot be modified, but the list of values (LOV) assigned to them can be changed. The Domain can also restrict who can modify attributes. Attributes that can be fully modified are displayed in bold.
If the user-defined attribute was created within your Hitachi Storage Viewer Domain, the attribute name, values, and description can all be modified. Most environments have only a single Domain. However, for multi-tenancy environments, where a hierarchy of Domains is used to partition data, you are
not permitted to modify attribute names in child Domains. You can modify the inheritance flag and the list of values of an attribute that was inherited from a parent. See also,
Attribute-Naming Rules and
Attribute Inheritance.
Note that when you modify the name, a validation check is made to ensure that the name you enter does not conflict with an existing attribute in your Domain hierarchy.
1. Select Admin > Advanced > Attributes.
2. (Multi-tenancy/multi-domain environments) From the drop‑down list, select the Domain in which the attribute resides.
3. Select the attribute. Bold attribute names indicate that the attribute can be fully edited.
4. Click Edit.
5. Modify the name, values, and/or description.
• Enter a comma-separated list of values. Values must be unique and are case-insensitive.
• For
System Attributes, only the list of values and the
Allow Inheritance flag can be modified.
• For attributes inherited from a parent, you can modify
only the list of values and the inheritance flag. You are
not permitted to modify
attribute names in child Domains. See
Attribute Inheritance.
6. In the Edit Attribute dialog, click Save.
