You can rename a qtree using Windows Explorer or a UNIX client, if the qtree permissions allow.
Before you begin
The following conditions must be true:
- The volume that contains the qtree you want to rename must be mounted (for NFS) or mapped (for CIFS).
- The qtree you are renaming must not be directly mounted and must not have a CIFS share directly associated with it.
- The qtree permissions must allow you to modify the qtree.
Steps
- Find the qtree you want to rename.
Note: The qtree appears as a normal directory at the root of the volume.
- Rename the qtree using the method appropriate for your client.
Example
The following command on a UNIX host renames a qtree:mv old_name new_name
Note: On a Windows host, you must use Windows Explorer to rename a qtree.
After you finish
If you have quotas on the renamed qtree, update the quotas file to use the new qtree name.
