Renaming a Volume
This procedure changes the name of a volume. If the volume has a file
system, this procedure also makes the necessary changes to the file
system table file and allows you to specify a new mount point for the file
system.
To rename a volume
Step 1. Select the volume to be renamed.
Step 2. Choose Volumes > Rename (Selected menu) or Volume Rename
(Command Launcher).
Step 3. Complete the Rename Volume dialog box as follows:
When you have provided all necessary information in the dialog box,
click OK.
Volume Name: If the correct volume name is not already displayed in
this field, type the volume’s name or click Browse to
select the volume.
New Name: Type the new name for the volume.
Options If the volume contains a file system and you want to
change the mount point when the volume is renamed,
type a new mount point in the New Mount Point field.
Notes:
• This task requires the current volume name and a new volume name.
• The new volume name must be unique within the disk group.
• If the volume contains a file system, the file system table file is
automatically updated (if necessary).
