Hitachi Block Host Resize Dialog

The Logical Device resize dialog can be accessed from the Block Host screen using the GUID-F3994EE7-99EF-4560-AD6B-8FC9ADE162D3-low.png tool bar item. This dialog can be used to resize logical devices represented by the Block Host node that are part of a replication pair. For active live replications both the PVOLS and SVOLS are expanded to the same size. For paused live replications and batch replications only the PVOLS are expanded to the requested size the SVOLS will be expanded when the replication is resumed or resynchronized, see Hitachi Block Device Advanced Settings Dialog for the array settings required to enable this functionality.

NoteAll supported replication types, with the exception of Thin Image replications, can be expanded as well as floating Snapshots.
NoteTo expand replications which have a live cascaded replications the cascaded replications must paused prior to expanding the initial replication.
NoteTo expand a block host which has multiple live replications all except one of the replications must be paused prior to expanding the block host.

First, select all logical devices that require expansion and click Next

NoteAny entries in the table with the GUID-E7FCC95A-1B14-42A7-B095-C9B1F1172769-low.png are LDEVs which are not available for expansion. Hovering the mouse pointer over the warning triangle will give more information as to why the LDEV can not be expanded.
Expand Logical Devices - Input Expand by Amount

Then for each selected logical device specify how much to expand the volume by in units of GB or TB.

NoteDuring the expansion of a live replication it be paused, then the PVOL(s) and SVOL(s) will be expanded and finally the replication will be resumed. However, for swapped replications the expansion is done in the reverse order expanding the active SVOL first and then expanding the active PVOL.
