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:
virsh vol-clone --pool main-storage-pool test-volume.raw test-volume-2.raw
2. Clone the volume, under a different name.
3. Delete the original storage volume from the pool with virsh vol-delete. Note that virsh vol-delete will also delete the content of the underlying storage, not just removes the storage volume definition from the pool. TODO: verify this one more time and Wan in virsh vol-delete.
virsh vol-delete test-volume.img main-storage-pool
