Hi wmp,<br />
<br />
I was thinking, if the LV was in use by a application for example, AIX wouldn't perform the lv rename, is that right?

Hi,<br />
<br />
I need help with a lv_test5 that must be renamed in lv_test12. It's a raw device now.<br />
<br />
Except chlv, do I have to run some other commands?<br />
<br />
<br />
chlv -n lv_test12 lv_test5<br />
<br />
Thank you!

AIX LV rename questions

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
