Step 1. Connect to Hyperion appliance via SSH as admin

ssh admin@<your_ip_address_or_hostname>

 

Step 2. Become Super User

sudo su

 

Step 3. Show pool list

virsh pool-list

EXAMPLE OUTPUT
 

 Name                                 State    Autostart
----------------------------------------------------------
 ImageRepository-syneto-os-5a4cc67a   active   yes
 vm1.                                 active   yes
 win                                  active   yes

 

Step 4. Backup pool configuration

virsh pool-dumpxml vm1 > backup_vm1.xml

 

Step 5. Change pool name

vi backup_vm1.xml

Change the name between the <name></name> tags. 

<pool type='dir'>
  <name>vm1</name>
  <uuid>b8e6b6df-3ce6-48e9-9fcf-63a93e818fae</uuid>
  <capacity unit='bytes'>63959531520</capacity>
  <allocation unit='bytes'>66048</allocation>
  <available unit='bytes'>63959465472</available>
  <source>
  </source>
  <target>
    <path>/hybrid/syn-volumes/e21f5de2-aefc-447c-8523-cafd96ef7c34</path>
    <permissions>
      <mode>0755</mode>
      <owner>0</owner>
      <group>0</group>
    </permissions>
  </target>
</pool>


Save and EXIT

:wq

 

Step 6. Stop pool name (replace <pool_name> with the pool name obtained in Step 5, located between the <name></name> tags)

virsh pool-destroy <pool_name>

EXAMPLE

virsh pool-destroy vm1

 

Step 7. Remove from the configuration the current pool (replace <pool_name> with the correct pool name>

virsh pool-undefine <pool_name>

EXAMPLE

virsh pool-undefine vm1

 

Step 8. Recreate the pool with the new name from backup file (replace <pool_name> with the desired name pool name)

virsh pool-define backup_vm1.xml

 

Step 9. Start the new pool (replace <pool_name> with the new pool name)

virsh pool-start <pool_name>

EXAMPLE

virsh pool-start vm1_newname

 

Step 10. Set autostart (replace <pool_name> with the correct pool name>

virsh pool-autostart <pool_name>

EXAMPLE

virsh pool-autostart vm1
