NAME

       vos_rename - Renames a volume

SYNOPSIS

       vos rename -oldname <old volume name>
           -newname <new volume name> [-cell <cell name>]
           [-noauth] [-localauth] [-verbose] [-help]

       vos ren -o <old volume name> -ne <new volume name>
           [-c <cell name>] [-no] [-l] [-v] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       The vos rename command changes the name of the read/write volume
       specified with the -oldname argument to the name specified with the
       -newname argument. The names of the read/write’s read-only copies and
       backup copy, if any, change automatically to match.

       After issuing this command, remember to correct any mount points that
       refer to the old volume name, by removing the old mount point with the
       fs rmmount command and creating a new one with the fs mkmount command.

OPTIONS

       -oldname <old volume name>
           Is the current name of the read/write volume.

       -newname <new volume name>
           Is the desired new name for the volume.

       -cell <cell name>
           Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this
           argument with the -localauth flag. For more details, see vos(1).

       -noauth
           Assigns the unprivileged identity "anonymous" to the issuer. Do not
           combine this flag with the -localauth flag. For more details, see
           vos(1).

       -localauth
           Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
           /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. The vos command interpreter
           presents it to the Volume Server and Volume Location Server during
           mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the -cell
           argument or -noauth flag. For more details, see vos(1).

       -verbose
           Produces on the standard output stream a detailed trace of the
           command’s execution. If this argument is omitted, only warnings and
           error messages appear.

       -help
           Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options
           are ignored.

OUTPUT

       The vos rename command produces no output if the command succeeds.

       If the volume named by the -oldname argument does not exist, the
       following message appears:

          vos: Could not find entry for volume <old volume name>.

EXAMPLES

       The following example changes the mistaken volume name "sun4x_56.afsws"
       to the correct alternative "sun4x_56.usr.afsws".

          % vos rename -oldname sun4x_56.afsws -newname sun4x_56.usr.afsws

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED

       The issuer must be listed in the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file on
       the machine specified with the -server argument and on each database
       server machine. If the -localauth flag is included, the issuer must
       instead be logged on to a server machine as the local superuser "root".
