Re: rename vdisk?

torontoguy · ‎02-06-2009

Hi,

We've run into a problem that I want to double check on before we do anything.

While rebuilding a corrupted vdisk, we did not pay attention to the naming. Can we safely rename disk vdisk6(1) to vdisk6 without causing any problems?

you can rename without any problems. I just tested to confirm. I renamed a datastore, did an svmotion, renamed it back to the original name and svmotioned back. All went smooth.

this vdisk(6) is presented to my 4 ESX hosts.

I'm assuming I need to rename it on all the ESX hosts?

rename it on one, the rest will recognize the change.
