If you do not specify a VM disk name, VxVM gives the disk a default name when you add the disk to VxVM control. The VM disk name is used by VxVM to identify the location of the disk or the disk type.
# vxedit [-g
diskgroup] rename
old_diskname
new_diskname
By default, VxVM names subdisk objects after the VM disk on which they are located. Renaming a VM disk does not automatically rename the subdisks on that disk.
For example, you might want to rename disk mydg03
, as shown in the following output from vxdisk
list
, to mydg02
: #
c0t0d0s2 auto:sliced mydg01 mydg online
You would use the following command to rename the disk.
# vxedit -g mydg rename mydg03 mydg02
To confirm that the name change took place, use the vxdisk
list
command again:
c0t0d0s2 auto:sliced mydg01 mydg online
c1t0d0s2 auto:sliced mydg02 mydg online
c1t1d0s2 auto:sliced - - online
