16.21.8 Rename Virtual Disk – RenameVD()
The RenameVD method is used to rename the existing virtual disk name.Maximum length of the name is
dependent on the PERC.The name of the virtual disk will not be changed until a configuration job has
been scheduled and performed. This configuration supported by both staged and realtime. Upon success
of the method, virtual disk name will be changed in the property “Name” under “DCIM_VirtualDiskView”
class.
Invoke RenameVD() method with the following input parameters:
TARGET: This parameter is the FQDD of the Virtual Disk (DCIM_VirtualDiskView, refer to
section 17.10)
NAME: New name to be entered.
Note: Maximum length of the name is 15 characters and the name cannot start with a space, end with a space, or
be left blank.
EXAMPLE:
wsman invoke -a RenameVD
"http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cim-schema/2/root/dcim/DCIM_RAIDService?
SystemCreationClassName=DCIM_ComputerSystem,CreationClassName=DCIM_RAIDService
,SystemName=DCIM:ComputerSystem,Name=DCIM:RAIDService"
-h 100.101.24.166 -V -v -c dummy.cert -P 443
-u $USERNAME -p $PASSWORD -k Target="Disk.Virtual.4:RAID.Integrated.1-1" -k
Name=$Proposed or new virtual disk name -j utf-8 -y basic
16.21.9 Cancel background initialization -CancelBackgroundInitialization()
This method is used to cancel the back ground initialization.
On PERC controllers, the background initialization of redundant virtual disk begins automatically after a
virtual disk is created. The background initialization of redundant virtual disk prepares the virtual disk for
parity information and improves write performance. It is important that the background initialization is
allowed to be complete.
User has to wait for completion of background initialization till that user can’t perform any operation on
virtual disk like “CheckConsistency”, OnlineCapacityExpansion etc. This feature provides the ability to
cancel the background initialization manually. But if cancelled, the background initialization automatically
restarts within 0 to 5 minutes.
This configuration is supported by only real time. Upon success of the method, properties
"OperationalName" and "OperationPercentComplete" shows as "Back ground initialize" and "percentage
in progress like 0% to 100%" in DCIM_VirtualDiskView class.
Invoke CancelBackgroundInitialization() method with the following input parameters:
TARGET: This parameter is the FQDD of the Virtual Disk (DCIM_VirtualDiskView, refer 17.10 section)
