Renaming the Storage Array Interface

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

Before You Begin

Verify the following:

• No jobs are running. If jobs are running, suspend them.

• For NFS configurations, the junction path used by the application is valid.

Procedure

1. Run a DR backup of the CommServe database.

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

   1. To allow the tool to modify the database, type the pre-run command:

       
      SnapManagementTool.exe preRun -vm instance_name

   2. 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

   3. 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 Arrays page.

• old_interface is the current IP address or array name of the NetApp storage array as entered in the Arrays page.

• new_interface is the new name of the array as used by applications.
