We want to setup some volumes with specific naming conventions for some FCP LUNS.
Seems System Manager GUI will not allow you to create volumes in FC SVMs... Why ??
So we try the "Add LUN" button under the GUI does not allow you to specify a volume name..

I’ve seen that before. Odd bug. Not sure how I rectified. The easiest thing for me was just to use cli. I seem to recall it working after I manually created a lun

it's just how the wizards are designed now, to simplify the workflow. it's not a bug.
for san, the volumes are created when the luns are created, with the same name as the lun. if you need the volume named differently than the lun, you'll need to use the cli, or rename it after creation. as the message says, create volume is only for nas svms.
i'll grant you, it's not a feature that was asked for and can be annoying. but it is actually 'working as designed'.

The problem i have these are brand new customer and never used NetApp before. Im trying to set it up correctly with proper naming for SVM LIFS, Volumes, LUNS to make it as clear as possible for people to know what its doing. These guys it will be only managing it from the GUI.. We need a GUI mode with Advanced option and remove all these annoying artificial GUI restrictions (mind you there is one.. called CLI :))
