To decrease capacity, replace increaseRepositoryCapacity with decreaseRepository:
set snapVirtualDisk ["snapVirtualDiskName"] decreaseRepositoryCapacity

count=numberOfVirtualDisks

Setting Snapshot Group Repository Virtual Disk Capacity

To increase or decrease capacity of a snapshot group repository virtual disk, use the same basic command syntax as
shown previously for the virtual disk repository, except use the set snapGroup command and supply the snapshot
group name:
set snapGroup ["snapGroupName"] increaseRepositoryCapacity

(repositoryVirtualDisks="repos_xxxx" | repositoryVirtualDisks=((diskGroupName

[capacity=capacityValue])) | repositoryVirtualDisks=((diskPoolName

[capacity=capacityValue])))

Reviving Disk Groups, Physical Disks, Snapshot Groups, And Snapshot Virtual Disks

The revive command forces failed physical disks, disk groups, snapshot groups and snapshot virtual disks into an
Optimal state. However, this command should only be performed by qualified storage administrators.

CAUTION: Possible loss of data access—Correct use of this command depends on the data configuration on the
physical disks in the disk group. Do not attempt to revive a physical disk or disk group unless you are explicitly
directed by your Technical Support representative.

To revive a physical disk:
revive physicalDisk [enclosureID,drawerID,slotID]

For MD-series dense storage arrays, all three location attributes (

enclosureID

,

drawerID

and

slotID

) are required. For

non-dense storage arrays, only

enclosureID

and

slotID

are required. Valid

enclosureID

values are 0 to 99,

drawerID

values are 0 to 4 and

slotID

values are 0 to 31.

To revive disk group:
revive diskGroup [diskGroupName]

To revive a snapshot virtual disk, the snapshot virtual disk must be a:

standalone snapshot virtual disk

snapshot virtual disk that is a member of a consistency group

If the snapshot virtual disk is not in a Failed state, the firmware displays an error message and does not run this
command.
revive snapVirtualDisk ["snapVirtualDiskName"]

NOTE: This command for a snapshot virtual disk used in online virtual disk copy.

To revive a snapshot group:
revive snapGroup ["snapGroupName"]
