Renaming a Storage Pool (BUI)

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 whether an upgrade is in progress, from the Maintenance menu, select System.

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

  1. From the Configuration menu, select Storage.
  2. From the Available Pools list, select the online pool to rename.
  3. Click UNCONFIG, then COMMIT.
  4. Click IMPORT, then select the storage pool you just unconfigured.
  5. Click the storage pool name and change it.

    The name must be 1 to 64 characters in length. The name cannot begin with a period (.) and cannot include spaces. Allowable characters are alphanumeric characters and special characters _ - . :

  6. Click COMMIT.
