Changing the site name
You can change the site name, or tag, that is used to identify each site in a Remote
Mirror configuration. Renaming the site changes the site record in the disk group.
The site name is also changed for all of the disks and enclosures that are tagged
with the existing site name.
After you rename a site, you may need to explicitly change the site name for each
host that belongs to that site.
See “Configuring sites for hosts” on page 491.
