Renaming objects

About this task

Object names are used to identify the objects in the PowerFlex GUI, and can also be used to specify objects in CLI commands. You can view an object’s name in its Property Sheet, in the Identity section.

NOTE: It is not possible to rename a Read Flash Cache device using this command.
You can define object names according to the following rules:

  1. Contain less than 32 characters

  2. Contain only alphanumeric and punctuation characters

  3. Be unique within the object type

When a name has not been defined, the system may display default system-defined names, as follows:

  • SDC—its first IP address

  • SDS—its first IP address

  • Device—the path to the device

  • All other objects—the object’s ID

NOTE: A name must be assigned to a volume when it is initially created. You can rename the volume later, using the Rename command.

Steps

  1. In the Dashboard left pane, click the relevant object type (for example: SDSs, Storage Pools, Devices).
  2. Select the relevant row and click Modify > Rename.
  3. In the Rename <object name> dialog box, enter the new name and click Apply.
  4. Verify that the operation completed successfully and click Dismiss.
