Modifying virtual disks

You can use the Integrated Virtualization Manager to view the properties of the virtual disks on your managed system, as well as to start virtual disk management tasks.

Virtual disks are also known as logical volumes.

To view and to modify virtual disks, complete the following steps in the Integrated Virtualization Manager:
  1. In the navigation area, select View/Modify Virtual Storage under Virtual Storage Management. The View/Modify Virtual Storage page is displayed.
  2. Select the Virtual Disks tab to display a list of virtual disks on the managed system.
  3. Select the virtual disk from the table that you want to modify.
    Note: If a virtual disk is defined as a paging space device as part of a shared memory pool configuration for the managed system, it is dedicated to providing this function and is no longer available for any other purpose. Consequently, such a virtual disk is not listed here.
  4. From the Tasks menu bar of the Physical Volumes table, select one of the following storage management tasks to perform:
    • Properties to view the properties of the selected virtual disks
    • Extend to add storage capacity to the selected virtual disks
    • Delete to delete the selected virtual disk and make the storage resources that belonged to that virtual disk available to other virtual disks.
    • Modify partition assignment to change the logical partition to which the selected virtual disk is assigned or to set the selected virtual disk so it is not assigned to any partitions
