Renaming disks in disk groups

Last published : Jun 19, 2026
The Management Server console lets you rename a disk in the disk group which is in the control of Storage Foundation.
You can rename one or more disks in an existing disk group on the host. The disk belonging to a deported or a foreign disk group cannot be renamed.
This operation can be launched from the contexts of disks and disk groups.
To perform this task, your user group must be assigned the Admin role on the host or the Server perspective. The permission on the host may be explicitly assigned or inherited from a parent Organization.
