Issue/Introduction

This article provides information on renaming a datastore that has virtual machines running on it.

Environment

VMware vSphere ESXi 5.5

VMware vSphere ESXi 6.5
VMware vCenter Server 7.0.x
VMware vCenter Server 4.1.x

Resolution

A datastore that has virtual machines running on it can be renamed without any negative impact. However, if the datastore is shared by more than one ESX host, you must rename the datastore from vCenter Server. For more information, see Datastore Renaming Fails When the VI Client is Connected Directly to ESX Server (1004845).
 
For steps to rename the datastores, see Change Datastore Name in VMware vSphere documentation:
