How to rename the LVM

In this article we will show you how to rename the Logical Volume Manager. But what is LVM? LVM is a software component that groups hard disks as physical partitions into VGs (volume groups) and allows you to dynamically create logical volumes and modify their size on the fly.

Step 1: Go to your server in Putty and enter the first code if you want to rename a volume group.

vgrename alter_name neuer_name

If you want to rename the local volume, you have to enter this command.

lvrename vg_name/alter_name vg_name/neuer_Name

Step 2: Then confirm and you have renamed the LVM.
