52 Chapter 3 Managing SAN Storage
Changing Volume Settings
You can change some settings for an existing volume, but other changes require the
volume to be re-initialized (you’ll see a warning for these cases).
Renaming a Volume
You can use Xsan Admin to change the volume name users see when the volume is
mounted on their computers.
To rename a volume:
1 Unmount the volume from clients.
In Xsan Admin, select the volume and click Clients. Then select clients and click
Unmount.
2 Stop the volume.
In Xsan Admin, select the volume and click Stop Volume.
3 Rename the volume.
In Xsan Admin, select the SAN the volume belongs to, click Setup, and click Storage.
Then double-click the volume, type a new name in the Volume Name field, click OK,
and click Save.
Use only uppercase letters (A-Z), lowercase letters (a-z), and numbers (0-9). Don’t
include spaces, underscores (_), or hyphens (-). Maximum length: 70 characters.
4 Start the volume.
Select the volume in the SAN Components list and click Start Volume.
5 Mount the volume on clients.
Select the volume and click Clients. Select clients and click Mount.
Warning: Renaming a volume causes all data on the volume to be lost.
