Stop the volume.
In Xsan Admin, select the volume and click Stop Volume.
3
Rename the volume.
In Xsan Admin, select the SAN the volume belongs to, click Setup, and click Storage.
Then double-click the volume, type a new name in the Volume Name field, click OK,
and click Save.
Use only uppercase letters (A–Z), lowercase letters (a–z), and numbers (0–9). Don’t
include spaces, underscores ( _ ), or hyphens ( - ). Maximum length: 70 characters.
4
Start the volume.
Select the volume in the SAN Components list and click Start Volume.
5
Mount the volume on clients.
Select the volume and click Clients. Select clients and click Mount.

Renaming a volume causes all data on the volume to be lost.
