How to rename storage alias

Under stor2rrd account

1. Stop the storage agent
   • Comment out an crontab entry for storage type in crontab (just one line)
   • kill all running processes for that storage

     $ ps -ef| grep old_storage_alias
     $ kill ....
     

2. UI ➡ settings icon ➡ Storage ➡ clone storage and set new name on the clone; then remove original entry
   
   
3. Rename data directory

   $ cd /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd
   $ mv data/<old_storage_alias> data/<new_storage_alias>
   $ mv www/<old_storage_alias>  www/<new_storage_alias>
   $ mv tmp/<old_storage_alias>  tmp/<new_storage_alias>
   $ rm -f  tmp/*cmd tmp/health_status_summary/<old_storage_alias>* tmp/mirror-status/<old_storage_alias>*
   

4. Re-enable crontab for that storage type
   
   
5. Make new UI

   $ ./load.sh html
   

6. Ctrl-F5 in the UI
