Virtual Disk Task: Rename

Does my controller support this feature? See "Supported Features."
Renaming a virtual disk enables you to change the virtual disk's name. The numbering format for the virtual disk remains unchanged.
Depending on the controller you have, there are different considerations regarding the controller BIOS:
l On PERC 3/SC, 3/DC, 3/QC, 4/SC, 4/DC, 4e/DC, 4/Di, 4/IM, 4e/Si, 4e/Di, and CERC ATA100/4ch controllers, changing the virtual disk name with Storage
Management does not change the name in the BIOS.
l On PERC 3/Si, 3/Di, CERC SATA1.5/6ch, and CERC SATA1.5/2s controllers, changing the virtual disk name with Storage Management also changes the
name in the BIOS. If you do not specify a name for a virtual disk (either when you create the virtual disk or by using the Rename task) then the name for
the virtual disk in the BIOS will be "Virtual Disk".
l The virtual disk name can contain only alphanumeric characters as well as spaces, dashes and underscores. The maximum name length depends on the
controller. In most cases, the maximum length is 15 characters. The name cannot start with a space, end with a space, or be left blank.
