The task was not submitted because the system name is not valid.

#### Explanation

The new system name must be unique on the fabric. The first character of a system name must be nonnumeric, and cannot be a – (dash) because the service assistant command-line interface (SA CLI) interprets it as being the next parameter.

Valid characters are:

- . (period)
  Note: The system name must not start with a period, end with a period, or contain two consecutive periods.
- /
- -
- _
- space
- a–z
- A–Z
- 0–9

#### User response

When you submit this task, ensure that the system name is unique and uses supported characters.
