Yes, when you open the properties page of the file system, can you change the name of it? Or do you have to delete it and recreate it with the new name?
Thanks,

OP is asking about renaming file system that will be used for iSCSI ..these file systems do not get mounted under VDMs.
If you are trying to rename file system that's used for CIFS/NFS, the same rename command will work you just need to make sure it's re-mounted under the same mount point name.

Hi Dynamox,
Renaming filesytem only changes the name. But not actually changes the folder name under root_vdm.
I have created a filesystem and changed the mountpoint as mixed mode through GUI.
And created cifs share and nfs exported it..
I want to rename the cifs,nfs,filesystem.
Its a rework or any procedures for this kind requests.
Thanks,
Rasal

what do you mean by changing folder name of old file system ? Are you talking about the mount point ?

Below the putty log:
[nasadmin@celerra-vsa ~]$ server_mount datamover1
datamover1 :
root_fs_2 on / uxfs,perm,rw
root_fs_common on /.etc_common uxfs,perm,ro
Filesystem on /Filesystem uxfs,perm,rw
root_fs_vdm_vdm_test on /root_vdm_3/.etc uxfs,perm,rw
testfilesystem_ren on /root_vdm_3/testfilesystem uxfs,perm,rw,noprefetch,nonotify,accesspolicy=MIXED
testfilesystem2 on /testfilesystem2 uxfs,perm,rw,accesspolicy=MIXED
[nasadmin@celerra-vsa ~]$ cd /nas/quota/slot_2/root_vdm_3/
[nasadmin@celerra-vsa root_vdm_3]$ ll
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 1024 Feb 25 11:20 testfilesystem
drwxr-xr-x 2 root bin 80 Feb 22 17:39 testfilesystem2
In the above, i have renamed testfilesystem to testfilesystem_ren, but the path under the root_vdm is same..
How to change this..
Thanks,
Rasal

create new mount point under VDM and then mount the file system using that mount point.
