How to change an iASP name after IBM i partition is deployed via PowerVC

How To


Summary

If an IBM i system is using iASPs you will need to change the iASP name after deployment (VM creation).

Steps

For example, to change the iASP name from "IASP710" to "IASP770":

- WRKDEVD DEVD(*ASP), it can be renamed (option 7) but notice that the
Resource name will remain the same. 

Device description . . . . . . . . :   IASP777
Option . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   *BASIC  
Category of device . . . . . . . . :   *ASP    
                                               
Resource name  . . . . . . . . . . :   IASP710
Relational database  . . . . . . . :   IASP710
Message queue  . . . . . . . . . . :   QSYSOPR


From a functional standpoint the resource name should not matter. 

- SETASPGRP uses the iASP name.  

If you need/want the resource name to match the name, the only option is to delete and recreate the iASP.
