Editing a File Volume

The Edit File Volume dialog box lets you:
You cannot change the volume group that the file volume is a part of.
An important aspect of managing file volumes is the concept of resizing file
volumes. If a file volume becomes full of data, you can extend the file volume,
thus alleviating the lack of space on the file volume.
To extend a file volume, there must be free storage space in the volume group that
contains the file volume. This free space does not have to be on the same LUN as
the file volume to be extended — you can create file volumes that span across
arrays as long as the LUNs are in the same volume group. This gives you the
option of extending existing file volumes by extending the volume group.
