Resizing volumes

When a volume reaches nearly full capacity, you can increase the size of the volume, delete some Snapshot copies, or adjust the Snapshot reserve. You can use the Volume Resize wizard in Storage Manager to provide more free space.

About this task

  • For a volume that is configured to grow automatically, you can modify the limit to which the volume can grow automatically based on the increased size of the volume.

  • You cannot resize a data protection volume if its mirror relationship is broken or if a reverse resynchronization operation has been performed on the volume.

    Instead, you must use the command-line interface (CLI).

  1. Click Storage > Volumes.
  2. Select the required volume and click the more icon .
  3. Select Edit.
  4. Specify a new value in the Capacity field.
  5. Click Save.
