Considerations • You can use the GUI or the CLUI. See host volumes actions cross reference. Procedure This procedure uses the GUI. 1. In the navigation pane, select Host Volumes. The content pane displays host volumes resources. 2. Click the appropriate List tab. 3. Select the resource to view. 4. Select Actions > View Properties. The Host Volume Properties window opens. 5. Click the properties tabs. Extending host volume capacity Increase the size of a host volume. Considerations • You can only use the GUI to extend a host volume. • You can extend the file system or the underlying array virtual disk. • You can extend a host volume until its size reaches that of the underlying virtual disk. At that point, it is necessary to extend the size of the virtual disk to provide additional capacity to extend the file system. • Make sure the DC-Management license installed supports the desired extend capacity. • Use care when manually extending a host volume on which you have set a dynamic policy. See Using DC-Management with replication for more information. Procedure 1. In the navigation pane, select Host Volumes. 2. On the Host Volumes tab, select the host volume that you want to extend. 3. Select Actions > Extend capacity. The Host Volume Extend window opens. Follow the instructions in the window. Shrinking host volume capacity Decrease the size of a host volume. Considerations • You can only use the GUI to shrink a host volume. • You can shrink the file system or the underlying array virtual disk. • The minimum size to which you can shrink a host volume is determined by the amount of data on the host volume. You cannot make a host volume too small to accommodate the data on it. • The minimum virtual disk size depends on the file system size. • Use care when manually shrinking a host volume on which you have set a dynamic policy. See Using DC-Management with replication for more information. Procedure 1. In the navigation pane, select Host Volumes. 2. On the Host Volumes tab, select the host volume that you want to shrink. 3. Select Actions > Shrink capacity. The Host Volume Shrink window opens. Follow the instructions in the window. HP StorageWorks Replication Solutions Manager 4.0.1 137
