Resizing FlexCache volumes

Starting with Storage Manager 9.6, you can resize a FlexCache volume by resizing existing resources or by adding new resources.

Before you begin

  • To resize a FlexCache volume, there must be enough free space on the existing aggregates.

  • To expand a FlexCache volume, there must be enough free space on the aggregate that you are using for expansion.

  1. Click Storage > Volumes.
  2. From the list on the right pane, select the volume to modify.
  3. Select the FlexCache volume that you want to resize, and then click More Actions > Resize.
  4. In the Resize FlexCache Volume window, specify the size to which you want to resize the FlexCache volume.

    By default, existing aggregates are used to resize the FlexCache volume. Starting with Storage Manager 9.6, the maximum size that is allowed for the volume is displayed next to the size field.
    Note
    If you want to expand the FlexCache volume by adding new resources, click (advanced options). Refer to Specifying advanced options for a FlexCache volume.
