Rename Datastore in vCloud director

[Sreejesh_D]

Hi All,

Is rename Datastore supported in vCloud Director 5.5.2?

We've to rename couple of datastores which have running VMs. There is no change in storage policy names, it will be same, only datastore names changes.

As per KB ( VMware Knowledge Base ) its not a problem in vcenter, but couldnt find a wiki/article on how to change datastore name in vCD environment.

It would be great if you can provide wiki with the details on it.

Usually there is no explicit change that is needed in VCD layer for this ask. Simple name change in VC data-store followed by VC refresh in VCD will show you the updated name. I have tested this in VCD 9.0 . To be in safer side you can take a VC and VCD snapshot and DB backup and do the change,it should work flawlessly.
