Agree .... What I would prefer we would have done is name things 
along the line of

name-serial#

instead of just a simple name.  Right now the names are ATS_blah 
where blah is pretty much the model name (S824, 740C, 780D, 
etc).  While it's shorter than the default name, it certainly 
isn't very helpful.  

In your environment, if the racks where the servers are 
installed have signs saying "RACK1", "RACK2", etc.  Then the 
naming you mentioned earlier may prove to be very helpful to 
your coworkers.  Our machines have their serial #s on a tag on 
the front (white label on the black cabinet), so serial #s 
prominent in the name seen on the HMC would be very helpful.
