5.4.11. Renaming Logical Volumes

To rename an existing logical volume, use the lvrename command.

Either of the following commands renames logical volume lvold in volume group vg02 to lvnew.

# lvrename /dev/vg02/lvold /dev/vg02/lvnew

# lvrename vg02 lvold lvnew

Renaming the root logical volume requires additional reconfiguration. For information on renaming a root volume, see How to rename root volume group or logical volume in Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

For more information on activating logical volumes on individual nodes in a cluster, see Section 5.7, “Activating Logical Volumes on Individual Nodes in a Cluster”.
