Resizing a Thick or Thin Volume
The maximum capacity of thick and thin volumes can be increased or decreased.
Operation Details
Expand Volume • The operation can be performed while the volume is online and
accessible to users.
• For a thick volume, additional space is allocated from the volume's
parent storage pool.
Shrink Volume • Users and applications will be unable to access the volume until the
operation is finished.
• For a thick volume, the freed space is returned to the volume's parent
storage pool.
Volume Type Maximum Allowed Capacity
Thick Amount of free space in the parent storage pool.
