Renaming a qtree

You can rename a qtree using Windows Explorer or a UNIX client, if the qtree permissions allow.

Before You Begin

Ensure that the following conditions are true:
  • The volume that contains the qtree you want to rename is mounted (for NFS) or mapped (for CIFS).
  • The qtree you are renaming is not directly mounted and does not have a CIFS share directly associated with it.
  • The qtree permissions allow you to modify the qtree.

Steps

  1. Find the qtree you want to rename.

    Note: The qtree appears as a normal directory at the root of the volume.

  2. Rename the qtree using the method appropriate for your client.

    Example

    The following command on a UNIX host renames a qtree:mv old_name new_name

    Note: On a Windows host, you must use Windows Explorer to rename a qtree.

After You Finish

If you have quotas on the renamed qtree, update the quotas file to use the new qtree name.
