Extending a Mirrored Volume You can increase the size of a volume, up to the space available in its pool. If you want to increase the size of a mirrored volume, the mirror also has to have enough space in its pool to be extended by the same amount. To extend a mirrored volume: 1 In the Enterprise View, select the iSCSI Storage Host you want. 2 In the Volumes View, rightclick the mirrored volume you want, then select Extend volume. Right-click mirrored volume The Extend Volume window opens. 3 By default, the Extend By field is set to the space available in the pool. Adjust the number to suit your requirements, then click OK. The Job Manager opens (see page 115) and the job begins. When the job is complete, the volume appears in the Volumes view with its new size. Changing Mirror Priorities The default extension equals the maximum available space This section describes how to change the priority of a mirrored volume. When you change the priority, the mirror (or mirror plex) becomes the volume (or mirror manager) and the original volume becomes the mirror. To change mirror priorities: 1 In the Enterprise View, select the iSCSI Storage Host you want. 2 In the Volumes View, right-click the mirrored volume you want, then select Modify mirror. The Modify Mirror window opens. 3 In the Plex Properties panel, select the existing mirror manager.
