Renaming a Disk Group

This procedure changes the name of an existing disk group. You might rename a disk group to provide a more appropriate name or avoid a name conflict with a disk group to be imported.

To rename a disk group

Select the disk group to be renamed.
Choose Disks Groups > Rename (Selected menu) or Disk Group Rename (Command Launcher).

Complete the Rename Disk Group dialog box as follows:

Disk Group Name:	If the correct disk group name is not already displayed in this field, type the disk group's name or click Browse to select the disk group.
New Name:	Type the new name for the disk group.

When you have provided all necessary information in the dialog box, click OK.

Notes:

This task requires the current disk group name and a new disk group name.
The new disk group name must be unique.
This task deports and reimports the disk group. If volumes in the disk group are in use, the deport fails and the disk group is not renamed.
This task updates the file system table file, if necessary.
If the disk group contains volumes with mounted file systems, you may need to unmount the file systems.
