Naming Conventions for Renaming Volumes

When changing multiple volume names at the same time, the volume name is automatically applied to the volumes according to the specified "Name", selected "Start of Suffix", and selected "Digits of Suffix".

(Example) When the specified volume name is "Volume" (six characters), "Start of Suffix" is "90", "Digits of Suffix" is "2", and the number of volumes is "11": the volume names "Volume90" to "Volume100" are applied to the volumes.
If the automatically applied volume name exceeds 32 characters due to the "Start of Suffix" and "Digits of Suffix" settings, the excess characters are deleted from the specified "Name", and replaced with a "~".

(Example) When the specified volume name is "ETERNUS_DXAF_Standard-XX_VolumeX" (32 characters), "Start of Suffix" is "90", "Digits of Suffix" is "2", and the number of volumes is "11": the volume names "ETERNUS_DXAF_Standard-XX_Volu~90" to "ETERNUS_DXAF_Standard-XX_Vol~100" are applied to the volumes.
When a volume name including the suffix number already exists, the suffix number is increased by one (+1). The suffix number is increased by one (+1) until no volume names overlap.

Note

If "Start of Suffix" starts with "0" and it exceeds "Digits of Suffix", the zeros are deleted from "Start of Suffix" and then applied to the volume name.

(Example 1) When the specified volume name is "Volume", "Start of Suffix" is "000", and "Digits of Suffix" is "1": the volume name "Volume0" is applied to the volume.

(Example 2) When the specified volume name is "Volume", "Start of Suffix" is "00005", and "Digits of Suffix" is "2": the volume name "Volume05" is applied to the volume.
