Renaming storage pools

When you distribute policy using enterprise configuration, you might need to rename a storage pool. Renaming a storage pool can require changing the destination storage pool in copy groups and management classes.

Procedure

To rename a storage pool, issue the RENAME STGPOOL command.

When you rename a storage pool, any administrators with restricted storage privilege for the storage pool automatically have restricted storage privilege to the storage pool under the new name. If the renamed storage pool is in a storage pool hierarchy, the hierarchy is preserved.

Copy groups and management classes might contain a storage pool name as a destination. If you rename a storage pool that is used as a destination, the destination in a copy group or management class is not changed to the new name of the storage pool. To continue to use the policy with the renamed storage pool as a destination, you must change the destination in the copy groups and management classes. You then activate the policy set with the changed destinations.
