Modifying snapshot properties
You can modify the properties of a snapshot, including the snapshot name, description, and public alias (public
name).
Modifying a snapshot name or description
The default snapshot name is based on the volume name and the time you created the snapshot. You can modify
this name and the optional snapshot description.
Note: If you modify a s
napshot name, and the public alias (public name) is set to be the same as the snapshot name
(as described in Displaying group-wide default volume settings on page 9-5), the alia
s changes to match the
new name. The iSCSI target name for the snapshot does no
t change if you change the snapshot name.
