Renaming a SnapVault or Open Systems SnapVault secondary volume

SnapVault or Open Systems SnapVault updates do not work if a SnapVault or Open Systems SnapVault secondary (destination) volume is renamed.

Considerations

Error: Not a snapvaulted qtree, ignoring.

Steps

1. Enter the following command:vol rename oldvolname newvolname
2. To verify the changes, enter the following commands:snapvault status

   snapvault status displays the new path.

3. Enter the following commands to verify the changes: snapvault status -c

   snapvault status -c does not show the new path yet.

4. Enter the following command:snapvault start -S pri_filer:pri_qtree sec_filer:sec_qtree

   Snapvault configuration for the qtree has been set. Qtree /vol/newvolname/sec_qtree is already a replica.

5. Enter the following command: snapvault status -c
   Note: snapvault status -c now shows the new path.

6. Enter the following command to verify whether the change was successful: snapvault update sec_qtree
7. The output of snapvault status -c will contain entries referencing the old volume name in addition to the new volume name. Remove these entries using the snapvault stop command: snapvault stop /vol/oldvolname/sec_qtree

   Snapvault configuration for the qtree has been deleted. Could not delete qtree: destination qtree does not exist The output reflects that the configuration information is deleted and that the qtree did not exist on disk. This is normal because the volume name has changed.
