If I have to rename some VMs that are vvol backed,

If I have to rename some VMs that are vvol backed, but I only have 1 vvol deployed on that vcenter, what is the best way to rename that vm's disks for consistency?

    If you rename them before, when deploying the new, you would have the "correct" names

The trick is that vSphere doesn't actually trigger a name update on the metadata tags, but they still will work and know the right volumes on the array to use. That just means that the volume group wont' get renamed on the array.
