Rename a Volume Group

Use the Storage page in the web console, Cockpit administrators can rename existing volume groups on the host system.

What Do You Need?

• The Cockpit web console must be installed and accessible.

  For details, see these topics: Install and Enable Cockpit and Log in to the Cockpit Web Console.

• The cockpit-storaged package must be installed.

  If the cockpit-storaged package isn't installed, see this section Install and Manage Add-on Applications.

Steps

Using the Cockpit web console, follow these steps to rename a volume group.

1. In the Storage page, find the table for Devices and then select the volume group that you want to rename.

   The LVM2 volume group [name] dialog appears.

2. In the LVM2 Volume Group [name] dialog, click Rename.

   The Rename volume group dialog appears.

3. In the Rename volume group dialog, enter the new name, and then click Rename.

   LVM renames the volume group and propagates the name change to all logical volumes in the volume group. Note that the renaming of the volume group doesn't affect the naming of thin pools.
