Configuration: Premium Feature—Snapshot Virtual Disks 163
NOTE: You can add a maximum of two physical disks at one time to increase
snapshot repository virtual disk capacity.
To expand the snapshot repository virtual disk from MDSM:
1 In the AMW, select the Logical tab.
2 Select the snapshot repository virtual disk for which you want to increase
the capacity.
3 Select Virtual Disk Increase Capacity.
NOTE: If no free capacity or unconfigured capacity is available, the Increase
Capacity option is disabled.
The Increase Snapshot Repository Capacity window displays the Virtual
disk attributes. The snapshot repository virtual disk name, the associated
snapshot virtual disk name, the associated source virtual disk capacity and
name, the current capacity, and the amount of free capacity that is
available for the selected snapshot repository virtual disk are displayed. If
free capacity is available, the maximum free space is displayed in the
Increase capacity by field.
If free capacity does not exist on the disk group, the free space that is
displayed in the Increase capacity by spinner box is 0. You must add
physical disks to create free capacity on the disk group.
4 To increase capacity of the snapshot repository virtual disk, use one of
these methods:
• Use the free capacity on the disk group of the snapshot repository
virtual disk – Go to step 5.
• Add unconfigured capacity, or physical disks to the disk group of the
snapshot repository virtual disk – Go to step 7.
5 In Increase capacity by, enter or select the appropriate capacity.
6 Click OK.
The Logical tab is updated. The snapshot repository virtual disk having its
capacity increased shows a status of Operation in Progress. In addition, the
snapshot repository virtual disk shows its original capacity and the total
capacity being added. The virtual disk involved shows a reduction in
capacity. If all of the free capacity is used to increase the size of the virtual
disk, the Free Capacity node involved is removed from the Logical tab.
