Expanding a Volume You can expand a standard volume or a snap pool if the virtual disk has free space and sufficient resources. Because volume expansion does not require I/O to be quiesced, the volume can continue to be used while it is expanded. To expand a volume: 1. Select Manage > Volume Management > Volume Menu > Expand Volume. For each virtual disk, the virtual disk panel shows a status icon; the name, RAID level, size, number of disk drives, and number of volumes; and utility status, if any. 2. Select a virtual disk. The selected virtual disk's volume names, sizes, and types are displayed, and the amount of free space. 3. Select a standard volume or snap pool to expand. 4. Enter the amount of free space in increments of 1 Mbyte to add to the volume. 5. Click Expand Volume. When processing is complete, the new size is displayed in the Volume Menu panel. Viewing Volume Status Information Volume status information is available from the following pages in SMU: ■ Monitor > Status > Vdisk Status. Includes volume information for the selected virtual disk. See "Virtual Disk Status" on page 150. ■ Manage > Volume Management > Volume Menu > Volume Status. Includes more detailed volume information for the selected virtual disk. On Virtual Disk Config and Volume Management pages, the virtual disk panel shows an icon for each virtual disk with information about the virtual disk below it. See "Displaying Status Information" on page 149 for a description of the virtual disk icons. Click a virtual disk icon to display panels with additional information. The information that is available varies, depending on the page. Chapter 3 Managing Storage 87
