Renaming a consistency group

Use the Rename Consistency Group option to change the name of the consistency group when the current name is no longer meaningful or applicable.

Keep these guidelines in mind when you name a consistency group:

A name can consist of letters, numbers, and the special characters underscore (_), hyphen (-), and pound (#). If you choose any other characters, an error message is displayed. You are prompted to choose another name.
Limit the name to 30 characters. Any leading and trailing spaces in the name are deleted.
Use a unique, meaningful name that is easy to understand and remember.
Avoid arbitrary names or names that would quickly lose their meaning in the future.
If you try to rename a consistency group with a name that is already in use by another consistency group, an error message is displayed, and you are prompted to choose another name for the group.

To rename a consistency group:

From the AMW, select the Storage & Copy Services tab.
Select the consistency group that you want to rename and then select Copy Services > Consistency Group > Rename.
The Rename Consistency Group window is displayed.
Type a new name for the consistency group and then click Rename.
