To expand the snapshot repository virtual disk from MDSM:

1In the AMW, select the Logical tab.

2Select the snapshot repository virtual disk for which you want to increase the capacity.

3Select 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 appear. If free capacity is available, the maximum free space appears in the Increase capacity by.

If free capacity does not exist on the disk group, the free space that appears in the Increase capacity by spinner box is 0. You must add physical disks to create free capacity on the disk group.

4To 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.

5In Increase capacity by, enter or select the appropriate capacity.

6Click 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.
