Options for resizing volumes
You can use the Volume Resize wizard to change your flexible volume size, adjust the Snapshot reserve, delete Snapshot copies, and dynamically see the results of your changes.
The Volume Resize wizard displays a bar graph that shows the current space allocations within the volume, including how much space is used and how much is free. When you make changes to the size or Snapshot reserve of the volume, this graph is updated dynamically to reflect the changes.
You can also use the Calculate space button to determine how much space is freed by deleting selected Snapshot copies.
You can use the Volume Resize wizard to make the following changes to your volume:
Change the volume size
You can change the total volume size to increase or decrease storage space.
Adjust Snapshot reserve
You can adjust the amount of space reserved for Snapshot copies to increase or decrease storage space.
Delete Snapshot copies
You can delete Snapshot copies to reclaim volume space.
Note: Snapshot copies that are being used or that have dependencies cannot be deleted.
Autogrow
You can specify the limit to which the volume can be grown automatically, if required.
