Renaming a Storage Pool (CLI)

To rename a storage pool, you must unconfigure it and then immediately import it with a new name. While storage is unconfigured, data will be inaccessible and there is a potential for data loss. Importing a storage pool can take a considerable amount of time.

Before You Begin

• Do not perform a pool configuration operation while a disk firmware upgrade is occurring. To check if an upgrade is in progress, navigate to maintenance system updates.

• Do not rename a pool while the peer controller is down or unreachable.

1. Go to configuration storage.
2. If you have multiple pools, a default pool is selected and displayed. If this is not the pool you want to rename, enter set pool= and specify another online pool.

   ---

   Note -  If you have a single pool, the pool name is not displayed, but it is selected.

   ---

   hostname:configuration storage (pool0)> set pool=pool1
                             pool = pool1

3. Enter unconfig.

   hostname:configuration storage (pool1)> unconfig

4. Enter done.
5. Enter import.

   hostname:configuration storage> import
   
   Search for storage. Begin the process of searching for existing storage pools.
   
   Subcommands that are valid in this context:
   
      help [topic]         => Get context-sensitive help. If [topic] is specified,
                              it must be one of "builtins", "commands", "general",
                              "help" or "script".
   
      show                 => Show information pertinent to the current context
   
      abort                => Abort this task (potentially resulting in a
                              misconfigured system)
   
      done                 => Finish operating on "discover"
   
   hostname:configuration storage> discover>
   

6. Enter done.
7. To select the storage pool you just unconfigured, enter set pool= and the pool name.

   hostname:configuration storage select> set pool=pool1
                             pool = pool1

8. To rename the storage pool, enter set name= and a new name.

   hostname:configuration storage (pool1)> set name=NewPool
                             pool = NewPool

9. Enter done.
