Guidelines for renaming Snapshot copies

Contributors

While renaming Snapshot copies, ensure that the two Snapshot copies do not have the same name.

Follow these guidelines when you use the snapdrive snap rename command:

  • An error message occurs if you try to rename a Snapshot copy to a different storage system volume.

  • An error message occurs if the new name for the Snapshot copy already exists. You can use the -force option to force SnapDrive for UNIX to change the name without generating an error message.
