Overview
There is no virsh command to rename a volume, but it can be achieved via the following sequence of steps:
1. Shutdown all the virtual machines that use the volume.
2. Delete the storage volume from the pool with virsh vol-delete. Note that virsh vol-delete does not delete the content of the underlying storage, it just removes the storage volume definition from the pool.
