Rename ISCSI LUN

[Romeo Theriault]

I'm not sure how Equallogic handles it's luns but on our netapp filers what
actually tells the RHEL boxes that a lun is a specific lun is a lun serial
number. This is a number on the lun that uniquely identifies it to the
server. On our RHEL boxes as long as that serial stays the same we could
rename the lun whatever we want on the SAN side.

But this should be an easy enough thing to test out ahead of time, shouldn't
it?
