Expanding Volume Capacity, The Snap Server reinstalls

Page 62 highlights

Volumes To retain NVDB information, you must back up the NVDB directory (see page 104) before you delete the volume, create your new storage configuration, and then restore the directory. After creating your new storage configuration, you can reinstall the antivirus software by navigating to the Snap Extensions screen and selecting CA Antivirus. On the next screen, check the Enable check box and click OK. The Snap Server reinstalls the antivirus software (using default settings) on the volume with the most available space. However, the installation process does not preserve custom antivirus configuration settings, so make a note of any such settings before deleting a RAID or the volume. To reconfigure the antivirus software, click the CA Antivirus link again, and click Configure eTrust Antivirus. You can reactivate Snap EDR functionality by navigating to the Snap Extensions screen, selecting the Snap EDR Manager or Snap EDR Agent link, and clicking the Start button. If you have an existing S2Sv2 license, you can reactivate S2Sv2 functionality by navigating to the Snap Extensions screen, selecting the S2S Manager or S2S Replication Mode link, and clicking the Start button. Note If the volume on which the NVDB directory, antivirus software, Snap EDR, or S2Sv2 resides is deleted, the system attempts to move the items to another volume with the most available space. If no other volumes are available, the items are automatically disabled. Note If you delete a volume, you will also delete any iSCSI disks that reside on that volume. Expanding Volume Capacity A volume's capacity can be expanded by navigating to the Storage > Volumes screen and clicking the name of a volume. There are two ways to expand the size of a volume: • Adding Unallocated Capacity - If there is unallocated capacity remaining on the RAID, you can add this capacity to the volume by editing the Volume size field or clicking the Grow to Max. Size button, and then clicking OK. • Creating a New RAID - If all capacity on the RAID is allocated, and either: (1) a sufficient number of drives to create a new RAID exists, or (2) a RAID of the same type with excess capacity exists, the Expand Volume button appears. Click this button to create an additional RAID, group the RAID with the existing RAID, and expand the volume into the space on the new RAID. Note If you expand the volume onto an existing RAID with existing volumes, those volumes will be preserved and the expanded volume will only consume the free space on the RAID. 48 Snap Server Administrator Guide

Snap Server Administrator Guide
To retain NVDB information, you must back up the NVDB directory (see page 104)
before you delete the volume, create your new storage configuration, and then
restore the directory.
After creating your new storage configuration, you can reinstall the antivirus
software by navigating to the
Snap Extensions
screen and selecting
CA Antivirus
. On
the next screen, check the
Enable
check box and click
OK
. The Snap Server reinstalls
the antivirus software (using default settings) on the volume with the most
available space. However, the installation process does not preserve custom
antivirus configuration settings, so make a note of any such settings before deleting
a RAID or the volume. To reconfigure the antivirus software, click the
CA Antivirus
link again, and click
Configure eTrust Antivirus
.
You can reactivate Snap EDR functionality by navigating to the
Snap Extensions
screen, selecting the
Snap EDR Manager
or
Snap EDR Agent
link, and clicking the
Start
button.
If you have an existing S2Sv2 license, you can reactivate S2Sv2 functionality by
navigating to the
Snap Extensions
screen, selecting the
S2S Manager
or
S2S
Replication Mode
link, and clicking the
Start
button.
Note
If the volume on which the NVDB directory,
antivirus software, Snap EDR,
or S2Sv2 resides is deleted, the system attempts to move the items to another
volume with the most available space. If no other volumes are available, the items
are automatically disabled.
Note
If you delete a volume, you will also delete any iSCSI disks that reside on that
volume.
Expanding Volume Capacity
A volume’s capacity can be expanded by navigating to the
Storage > Volumes
screen
and clicking the name of a volume. There are two ways to expand the size of a
volume:
Adding Unallocated Capacity —
If there is unallocated capacity remaining on the
RAID, you can add this capacity to the volume by editing the Volume size field
or clicking the
Grow to Max. Size
button, and then clicking
OK
.
Creating a New RAID —
If all capacity on the RAID is allocated, and either: (1) a
sufficient number of drives to create a new RAID exists, or (2) a RAID of the same
type with excess capacity exists, the
Expand Volume
button appears. Click this
button to create an additional RAID, group the RAID with the existing RAID, and
expand the volume into the space on the new RAID.
Note
If you expand the volume onto an existing RAID with existing volumes,
those volumes will be preserved and the expanded volume will only consume
the free space on the RAID.
