growvv DESCRIPTION The growvv command increases the size of a virtual volume. SYNTAX growvv [g|G|t|T] AUTHORITY • Super, Edit • Any role granted the vv_grow right. NOTE: You need access to the domain of the specified group () in order to run this command. OPTIONS -f Suppresses the requested confirmation before growing a virtual volume size from under 2 T to over 2 T. SPECIFIERS The name of the volume to be grown. [g|G|t|T] The size to be added to the volume's user space. The size is specified in multiples of 256 MB. You can optionally specify the grow size in gigabytes (g or G) or in terabytes (t or T). RESTRICTIONS • In order to grow a virtual volume in a Remote Copy group, that group must first be stopped. • You must grow the corresponding virtual volume on the secondary system by the same amount or the Remote Copy group will not restart. EXAMPLES The following example increases the size of virtual volume vv1 by two terabytes: # growvv vv1 2t NOTES Ensure that there is sufficient space to mirror the grow of the volume on the secondary system before growing the volume on the primary system. The grow operations of Remote Copy volumes are coordinated between the primary and secondary targets. A coordinated grow can be started from either the primary or secondary target. Volumes on remote targets are grown to the intended size of the local volume. If a target cannot be contacted or Remote Copy is not started, only the local volume will be grown. A check is first made to see if the local and remote volumes can be grown by the requested amount. If this succeeds, all the volumes are grown; however, if other volumes are grown during this process, it is possible that remote volumes are grown and the local volume is not. If this occurs, remote volumes must be grown manually before the group can be started. growvv 179
