After adding volumes to a service, you can resize the volumes in managed mode.
About this task
For a storage-only service, you can increase the volume size. For a VMware ESXi compute-only service, you can increase the size of the datastore that is associated with the volume. For a hyperconverged service, you can increase the size of both the volume and the datastore.
If you resize a volume in a storage-only service, you must update the datastore size in the corresponding VMware ESXi compute-only service. The datastore size cannot exceed the size of the volume.
Steps
Log in to
PowerFlex Manager.
On the
Services page, click the volume component and choose
Volume Actions > Resize.
Choose the volume that you want to resize:
Click
Select Volume.
Enter a volume or datastore name search string in the
Search Text box.
Optionally, apply additional search criteria by specifying values for the
Size,
Type,
Compression, and
Storage Pool filters.
Click
Search.
PowerFlex Manager updates the results to show only those volumes that satisfy the search criteria. If the search returns more than 50 volumes, you must refine the search criteria to return only 50 volumes.
Select the row for the volume you want to resize.
Click
Save.
Update the sizing information:
If you are resizing a volume for a hyperconverged service, perform these steps:
In the
New Volume Size (GB) field, specify a value that is greater than the current volume size.
Optionally, select
Resize Datastore to increase the size of the datastore.
If you are resizing a volume for a storage-only service, enter a value in the
New Volume Size (GB) field. Specify a value that is greater than the current volume size. Values must be in multiples of eight, or an error occurs.
If you are resizing a volume for a compute-only service, review the
Volume Size (GB) field to see if the volume size is greater than
Current Datastore Size (GB). If it is,
PowerFlex Manager expands the datastore size.
