Renaming A Disk Pool

Use the Rename option to change the name of a disk pool when the current name is no longer meaningful.

Keep these guidelines in mind when you rename a disk pool:

A disk pool name can consist of letters, numbers, and the special characters underscore (_), hyphen (-), and

pound (#). If you choose any other characters, an error message is displayed. You are prompted to choose

another name.

Limit the name to 30 characters.

Use a unique, meaningful name that is easy to understand and remember.

Do not use arbitrary names or names that may quickly lose their meaning in the future.

If you choose a disk pool name that is already in use, an error message is displayed. You are prompted to

choose another name.

1.

In AMW, select the Storage & Copy Services tab.
