48 Chapter 3 Managing SAN Storage
Changing Storage Pool Settings
The best way to set up a SAN is to plan its organization carefully before you set it up,
including settings for the storage pools that make up its volumes. You can change
some storage pool settings in an existing SAN, but other changes require the
associated volume to be re-initialized.
Renaming a Storage Pool
It is possible to rename a storage pool, but doing so erases all data on the storage pool
and the volume it belongs to.
To rename a storage pool:
1 Unmount the associated volume from all clients.
In Xsan Admin, select the volume, click Clients, select clients in the list, and click
Unmount.
2 Stop the associated volume.
With the volume still selected, click Stop Volume.
3 Rename the storage pool.
Select the SAN, click Setup, click Storage, and double-click the storage pool in the list.
Type the new name and click OK.
4 Click Save.
From the Command Line
You can also modify a storage pool by modifying the associated volume configuration
file in Terminal. For more information, see the cvfs_config man page or “The Volume
Configuration File” on page 96.
Warning: When you rename a storage pool, all data on the storage pool and the
volume to which it belongs is lost.
