Renaming the Storage Array Interface

You can use this command to change the IP address or the array interface name as used by applications.

Note

When there are no snapshots associated with the array, Commvault recommends that you delete and create the array again with desired interface.

Before You Begin

Verify the following:

No jobs are running. If jobs are running, suspend them.
The OnCommand Unified Manager (OCUM) server displays the new volume names correctly.
For NFS configurations, the junction path used by the application is valid.

On the command line of the CommServe computer, go to software_installation_directory/Base and type the following commands:

To allow the tool to modify the database, type the pre-run command:
```
 
SnapManagementTool.exe preRun -vm instance_name
```

To rename the array name, type the following command:

SnapManagementTool arrayIfRename -vm instance_name -array array_name -oldif old_interface -newif new_interface

Example:

SnapManagementTool arrayIfRename -vm Instance001 -array netapparray101 -oldif 10.0.0.1 -newif 10.2.2.1

To remove the write permission from the tool, type the post-run command:
```
 
SnapManagementTool.exe postRun -vm instance_name
```

where:

instance_name is the name of the Commvault instance (for example, instance00).
array_name is the name of the NetApp storage array, as entered in the Array Management dialog box.
old_interface is the current IP address or array name of the NetApp storage array as entered in the Array Management dialog box.
new_interface is the new name of the array as used by applications.
