ORACLEASM-RENAMEDIS(8)	   Oracle ASM Support Manual	ORACLEASM-RENAMEDIS(8)

NAME
       oracleasm-renamedisk - Change the label on an ASM disk.

SYNOPSIS
	   oracleasm renamedisk [-l <manager>] [-v] <label>|<device> <new_label>
	   oracleasm renamedisk -h
	   oracleasm renamedisk -V

DESCRIPTION
       The renamedisk command changes the label on an ASM disk. This can also
       be used to take raw disks used by ASM and add labels to them. The
       Oracle ASM Library can only see ASM disks with labels.

WARNING
       Changing the label of an disk marked for ASM is a very dangerous
       operation. If this is really what you mean to do, you must ensure that
       all Oracle and ASM instances have ceased using this disk. Otherwise,
       you may LOSE DATA.

OPTIONS
       -l|--manager <manager>
	   Specifies the manager device to be queried. Almost always
	   unnecessary, as only one manager device is in use.

       -v|--verbose
	   Verbose operation. This will print any debugging information.

       <label>|<device>
	   The disk to rename. It may be specified by DEVICE path or by its
	   LABEL.

       <new_label>
	   The new LABEL.

       -h|--help
	   Display usage information.

       -V|--version
	   Display version information.

EXAMPLES
       oracleasm renamedisk VOL1 VOL2
	   Rename the disk VOL1 to VOL2

       oracleasm renamedisk /dev/sda1 VOL2
	   Rename the device /dev/sda1 as VOL2
