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.

7If unassigned physical disks are not available, do you have empty slots in the expansion enclosures?

Yes, there are empty slots—Insert new physical disks by using the information in the initial setup guide for your expansion enclosure. Go to step 9.

No, there are no empty slots—Install another expansion enclosure and additional physical disks. Use the information in the initial setup guides for your RAID controller module and your expansion enclosure. Go to step 9.

NOTE: The physical disks that you add must be of the same media type and interface type as the physical disks that already make up the disk group of the snapshot repository virtual disk.

8Click Add Physical Disks.
