# 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.

- 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.
