If the alternate volume name is also in use, the storage subsystem uses
the name for this disk drive as stored in the system configuration
database.
To change the name (or alternate volume name) of the disk, use one of
the following SCF commands to assign a new name:
♦ RENAME DISK
♦ ALTER DISK, VOLNAME
♦ ALTER DISK, ALTNAME
Caution.
Do not rename the disk unless other products or
applications will not search for files on that volume under
the old name. Before renaming the disk, see RENAME
DISK Considerations or ALTER DISK Considerations.
If the START DISK command is failing, see the Himalaya S-Series
Hardware Support Guide.
Considerations When Reviving a Mirrored Volume
When reviving a mirrored volume, consider the following:
• Do not stop the revive operation by issuing an SCF STOP DISK
command unless wanting to force the next revive operation to restart
from the beginning.
• When SCF must revive the information on the volume before starting
the volume, the revive operation can seriously affect system
performance, especially for users of the volume being revived. Use the
SCF RESET DISK command to temporarily suspend the revive
operation when needed.
