Use this procedure to search for volumes in a service, and optionally select volumes for an add or resize operation.
About this task
You can search for volumes by volume name or datastore name, volume type, compression setting, or storage pool name.
You can launch the volume search dialog box from multiple places in
PowerFlex Manager:
Storage section of the
Service Details page
View All Settings page
Add Volumes wizard
Resize Volume wizard
When you perform a search,
PowerFlex Manager updates the results to show only those volumes that satisfy the search criteria. If the results include more than 50 volumes, you must refine the search criteria to return 50 volumes or less.
After performing a search in the
Add Volumes wizard, you can select one or more existing volumes to add to a service. In the
Resize Volume wizard, you can select the volume that you want to resize.
