Parameters

-size expand_size
(Required) Specifies the capacity by which the volume is expanded. This value is used with the value of the -unit parameter.
-unit b | kb | mb | gb | tb | pb
(Optional) Specifies the unit for the -size parameter. The default value is megabytes (MB).
volume_id | volume_name
(Required) Specifies the volume to modify, either by ID or by name.

Description

Restricted users cannot use this command.

Note: You can expand the size of HyperSwap volumes provided:
  • All copies of the volume are synchronized.
  • All copies of the volume are thin or compressed.
  • There are no mirrored copies.
  • The volume is not in a consistency group. To expand the volume, you must remove the active-active relationship for the volume from the remote copy consistency group. The active-active relationship can be added back to the consistency group after the volume is expanded.
