To expand the snapshot repository virtual disk from MDSM:
1 In the AMW, select the Logical tab.
2 Select the snapshot repository virtual disk for which you want to increase
the capacity.
3 Select Virtual Disk Increase Capacity.
NOTE:
If no free capacity or unconfigured capacity is available, the Increase
Capacity option is disabled.
The Increase Snapshot Repository Capacity window displays the Virtual
disk attributes. The snapshot repository virtual disk name, the associated
snapshot virtual disk name, the associated source virtual disk capacity and
name, the current capacity, and the amount of free capacity that is
available for the selected snapshot repository virtual disk appear. If free
capacity is available, the maximum free space appears in the Increase
capacity by.
If free capacity does not exist on the disk group, the free space that appears
in the Increase capacity by spinner box is 0. You must add physical disks to
create free capacity on the disk group.
4 To increase capacity of the snapshot repository virtual disk, use one of
these methods:
• Use the free capacity on the disk group of the snapshot repository
virtual disk – Go to step 5.
• Add unconfigured capacity, or physical disks to the disk group of the
snapshot repository virtual disk – Go to step 7.
5 In Increase capacity by, enter or select the appropriate capacity.
6 Click OK.
The Logical tab is updated. The snapshot repository virtual disk having its
capacity increased shows a status of Operation in Progress. In addition, the
snapshot repository virtual disk shows its original capacity and the total
capacity being added. The virtual disk involved shows a reduction in
capacity. If all of the free capacity is used to increase the size of the virtual
disk, the Free Capacity node involved is removed from the Logical tab.
