Resizing FlexVol volumes

Check the available space of the containing aggregate by entering the following command:

df -A aggr_name 

aggr_name is the name of the containing aggregate for the FlexVol volume whose size you want to change.

If you want to determine the current size of the volume, enter one of the following commands:

vol size f_vol_name

df f_vol_name

f_vol_name is the name of the FlexVol volume that you intend to resize.

Enter the following command to resize the volume:

vol size f_vol_name [+|-] n{k|m|g|t}

f_vol_name is the name of the FlexVol volume that you intend to resize.

If you include the + or -, n{k|m|g|t} specifies how many kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes or terabytes to increase or decrease the volume size. If you do not specify a unit, size is taken as bytes and rounded up to the nearest multiple of 4 KB.

If you omit the + or -, the size of the volume is set to the size you specify, in kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, or terabytes. If you do not specify a unit, size is taken as bytes and rounded up to the nearest multiple of 4 KB.

Note
If you attempt to decrease the size of a FlexVol volume to less than the amount of space that it is currently using, the command fails.

Verify the success of the resize operation by entering the following command:

vol size f_vol_name
