SYNOPSIS
Resize Partition Size Unit
DESCRIPTION
This command enables you to create, resize, or delete the storage partitions on your appliance. The Resize command can be used for a single storage partition at a time. You can use this command to resize the storage capacity of a partition to a higher or a lower value. The disk storage cannot be expanded to a size that is greater than the unallocated space.
Starting with software version 3.3.0.1, you can resize the NDMPLog partition upward from its minimum (default) size of 100 GB. The maximum size of the partition is dependent on the amount of all unallocated storage. You can also resize this partition from the NetBackup Appliance Web Console.
Starting with release 4.0, you can resize the VxUpdate repository upward from its minimum of 100 GB. The maximum size of the partition is dependent on the amount of all unallocated storage.
Note:
Shares can only be resized with this command. They cannot be created or deleted. Use the Create and Delete commands to create and delete shares.
Review the following considerations:
You can create a partition using Resize only if the appliance is configured as a primary or a media server.
You can resize a partition to a higher or lower value depending on the type of partition. The size is expanded by using the unallocated space.
You can delete a partition using Resize only if the appliance is in a factory state (when it is not configured as a primary or media server).
Note the following when expanding partitions:
Make sure that the MSDP volume is larger than 10GB. Partitions smaller than 10GB or less than 1/100 of the average MSDP volume are not supported.
If the available disk space is more than 10GB, a message informs you that the partition has been expanded.
If the available disk space is less than 10GB, the process checks for the next disk in the storage array with more than 10GB of free space. A message informs you that the partition has been expanded.
If no disks have more than 10GB of available space, a message informs you of the maximum available space and allows you to expand the partition to the smaller size.
Review the "Resizing a storage partition" topic in the Administrator's Guide before resizing a partition.
An informational message like the following is displayed when you resize a partition:
The estimated time to resize the partition can range from 0 hours, 2 minutes to 0 hours, 5 minutes depending on the system load. The greater the system load the longer it takes to complete the resize operation.
