Renaming a session

Edit online

You can rename a session.

Before you begin

Note: Only users with administrator privileges can rename a session.
Important: Do not rename a session under the following conditions:
  • If the session is running.
  • If the session is scheduled to run before renaming can be completed.

About this task

Complete the following steps to rename a session.

Note: Renaming a session is not supported under the following conditions:
  • If HyperSwap® or Hardened Freeze is enabled for the session.
  • If the session is an ESE Sizer session type, a Safeguarded Copy for Spectrum Virtualize session type, an XIV® or a FlashSystem A9000 session type, or a basic HyperSwap session type.
  • If the session is in a transitioning state.

Renaming a session is supported only when the session is in these states: Defined, Prepared, Suspended, and Protected. A FlashCopy® session can also be renamed when it is in the Target Available state.

Procedure

  1. In the menu bar, click Sessions.
  2. On the Sessions page, select the session that you want to rename.
  3. From the Session Actions list, select View/Modify.
  4. From the View/Modify list, select Change Session Name.
  5. Enter the new name of the session you want.
  6. Click Ok to rename the session.

What to do next

After a session is renamed, operators that previously had access to the session, will no longer have access to the session with the new session name. You must provide access to the newly renamed session on both local and standby servers, to all Operator users and groups who previously had access to it.
