If I wanted to rename this guest's devices to insguest02 would I do: dmsetup rename insguest01 insguest02 then update /etc/multipath.conf so that the alias name reflects the new name at boot time ? and would I need to perform the same operation on all the partitions as well ? -- Thanks - Phil -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
