Renaming a LUN in Ontap 9.

Is there a command line way to rename a LUN in Ontap 9.8P10?

I saw the solution from 2012 in this forum but it doesn't work:

hostname::> lun move /vol/vol_test06_vol/vol_test06_lun /vol/vol_test06_vol/yoda_test06_lun

Error: "/vol/vol_test06_vol/vol_test06_lun" is not a recognized command

I think you're missing a few parts of the command. Here's what I did in my 9.8 lab:

WOPR::> lun move start -vserver Storage_iSCSI -source-path /vol/testvol/testlun.lun -destination-path /vol/testvol/newlun.lun

Following LUN moves have been started:
"Storage_iSCSI:/vol/testvol/testlun.lun" move to "Storage_iSCSI:/vol/testvol/newlun.lun"

And the real command is here:

lun move-in-volume

This command moves a LUN to a new path in the same volume or renames a LUN

Yeah. Sure. The “new” docs site doesn’t have that cool link feature anymore. Cutting and pasting on the phone just sticks

Thanks

I am also looking at API to rename lun. How does the API call looks like? I want to use the postman to test it. Can someone help me here?
