  2. If you licensed a disk pool feature, select the Drives tab.
  3. In the Drive Status pane, select a drive or select multiple drives.
  4. On the Actions menu, select Change Drive Comment. The dialog box shows the current comment (if any is currently configured).
  5. (Shared Storage Option.) For a shared drive, select the host and the device path to the selected drive that you want to change. You can change the comment for any or all of the host and the device paths.
  6. Add a comment or change the current drive comment.
