SANRAD V-Switch manual Renaming a Storage Device, Exposeas, Transparent, 182

device set

You need to define one parameter to change the V-Switch storage device discovery mode:

SWITCH	PARAMETER	DEFINITION	STATUS	EXAMPLE
-rld	REPORT LUN	MODE FOR	MANDATORY	no
	DISCOVERY	DISCOVERING	YES OR NO
		DEVICE LUNS
			DEFAULT: YES

See “device set,” page 200, for the full list of switch parameters for the CLI command device set.

If you are working in a V-Switch cluster, the disk must be renamed on both V- Switches.

Renaming a Storage Device

You can rename a disk. Renaming the disk will have no effect on the volume hierarchies built on the disk.

storage set

You need to define three parameters to rename a disk:

SWITCH	PARAMETER	DEFINITION	STATUS	EXAMPLE
-s	STORAGE ALIAS	STORAGE ALIAS TO	MANDATORY	Stor_1
		MODIFY
-na	NEW ALIAS	NEW ALIAS FOR	MANDATORY IF	RAID1
		STORAGEK	CHANGING
-info	INFORMATION	INFORMATION TO	MANDATORY IF	Expose_as
		ASSIGN TO	CHANGING	_transparent
		STORAGE DEVICE

Example:

The disk, Stor_1, is renamed to RAID1 and a note is made for the storage manager to expose this disk as a transparent volume.

storage set –s Stor_1 –na RAID1 –info Expose_as _transparent
