Renaming a Storage Pool

You can rename a storage pool, but doing so erases all data on the storage pool and

the volume it belongs to.

To rename a storage pool:

1

Unmount the associated volume from all clients.

In Xsan Admin, select the volume, click Clients, select clients in the list, and click

Unmount.

2

Stop the associated volume.

With the volume still selected, click Stop Volume.

3

Rename the storage pool.

Select the SAN, click Setup, click Storage, and double-click the storage pool in the list.

Type the new name and click OK.

4

Click Save.

From the Command Line

You can also rename a storage pool by modifying the associated volume configuration

file in Terminal. For more information, see the

cvfs_config

man page or “The

Configuration Files” on page 181.

Warning:

When you rename a storage pool, all data on the storage pool and the

volume to which it belongs is lost.
