Renaming a volume
About this task
Rename a virtual volume at any time. Renaming a virtual volume does not impact host IO to the volume.
Steps
1. From the GUI main menu, do one of the following:
In metro node local
a. Click Provision Storage.
b. In the View by drop-down, click Virtual Volumes.
In metro node Metro
a. Click Provision Storage.
b. In the Provision on drop-down, select the cluster of the storage volume.
c. In the View by drop-down, select Virtual Volumes.
2. In the Virtual Volumes view, select the volume name to see the properties at the right side of the screen.
3. In the Virtual Volumes properties dialog box, click Rename in Virtual Volume tab and type a new name in the Name field.
The name must be unique within the cluster.
4. Click .
Tearing down a volume
About this task
Tearing down a virtual volume deletes the virtual volume and the underlying devices and extents. This operation makes the
underlying storage volume capacity used by the virtual volume available for use again. Note that the underlying storage volume
status remains claimed.
If the virtual volume you are tearing down is in a storage view, remove the volume from the storage view before performing this
operation.
NOTE: You cannot tear down a virtual volume on a distributed device. Deleting a virtual volume provides more information.
Steps
1. From the GUI main menu, do one of the following:
In metro node local
a. Click Provision Storage.
b. In the View by drop-down, click Virtual Volumes.
In metro node Metro
a. Click Provision Storage.
b. In the Provision on drop-down, select the cluster of the storage volume.
c. In the View by drop-down, select Virtual Volumes.
2. In the Virtual Volumes view, select an unexported volume to tear down.
3. Click the Delete drop-down, and then click Tear Down.
4. Review the virtual volumes to tear down, and if satisfied, click Yes.
5. Click Close.
