expand volume Description Expands a standard or master volume. Expansion is restricted to the space available on the vdisk containing the volume. If insufficient space is available for expansion on the vdisk, first expand the vdisk by using expand vdisk. To expand a master volume: 1. Delete all of its snapshots by using delete all-snapshots. 2. Convert it to a standard volume by using convert master-to-std. 3. Expand the standard volume by using expand volume. 4. Convert the expanded volume to a master volume by using convert std-to-master.

containing the volume. If insufficient space is available for expansion on the vdisk, first expand the
vdisk by using
expand vdisk
.
To expand a master volume:
1.
Delete all of its snapshots by using
delete all-snapshots
.
2.
Convert it to a standard volume by using
convert master-to-std
.
3.
Expand the standard volume by using
expand volume
.
4.
Convert the expanded volume to a master volume by using
convert std-to-master
.
Syntax
To expand by a specific size:
expand volume size
size
[B|KB|MB|GB|TB|KiB|MiB|GiB|TiB]
volume
To expand to the maximum size:
expand volume size max
volume
Parameters
size
size
[B|KB|MB|GB|TB|KiB|MiB|GiB|TiB]
Specifies the size using the current base, as shown by
show cli-parameters
. The unit can be specified
as follows:
If base 2 is in use:
B
(bytes),
KiB
(kibibytes),
MiB
(mebibytes), or
GiB
(gibibytes)
If base 10 is in use:
B
(bytes),
KB
(kilobytes),
MB
(megabytes), or
GB
(gigabytes)
If no unit is specified, the unit is blocks.
size max
Expands the volume to fill the available space on the vdisk.
volume
Name or serial number of the volume to expand. For syntax, see
Command syntax
.
