Renaming a meta-volume
By default, meta-volume names are based on a timestamp. To change the name, do the following:
Steps
1. Navigate to the /clusters/cluster/system-volumes/ context:
VPlexcli:/> cd clusters/cluster-2/system-volumes/
VPlexcli:/clusters/cluster-2/system-volumes>
2. Use the ll command to display the names of the meta-volumes.
3. Navigate to the /clusters/cluster/system-volumes/target-meta-volume context.
For example:
VPlexcli:/clusters/cluster-2/system-volumes> cd new_meta1_backup_2010May24_163810
4. Use the set name new_meta-volume_name command to change the name.
For example:
VPlexcli:/clusters/cluster-2/system-volumes/new_meta1_backup_2010May24_163810> set
name backup_May24_pre_refresh
Deleting a meta-volume
About this task
NOTE:
A meta-volume must be inactive to be deleted. Attempts to delete an active meta-volume fail with an error
message.
Steps
1. Navigate to the target volume’s context.
For example:
VPlexcli:> cd clusters/cluster-1/system-volumes/metadata_1/
2. Use the ll command to verify that the volume is not active.
For example:
VPlexcli:/clusters/cluster-1/system-volumes/metadata_1> ll
Attributes:
Name Value
---------------------- -----------
active false
application-consistent false
block-count 23592704
block-size 4K
.

.
3. Use the meta-volume destroy --meta-volume meta-volume command to delete the specified meta-volume.
For example:
VPlexcli:/clusters/cluster-1/system-volumes/metadata_1> meta-volume destroy --meta-
volume metadata_1
