growvv
DESCRIPTION
The growvv command increases the size of a virtual volume.
SYNTAX
growvv <VV_name> <size>[g|G|t|T]
AUTHORITY
• Super, Edit
• Any role granted the vv_grow right.
NOTE: You must have access to the domain of the specified group (<group_name>) to run this
command.
OPTIONS
-f
Suppresses the requested confirmation before growing a virtual volume size from under 2 T to over
2 T.
SPECIFIERS
<VV_name>
The name of the volume to be grown.
<size>[g|G|t|T]
The size to be added to the volume’s user space. The size is specified in multiples of 256 MB. You
can optionally specify the grow size in gigabytes (g or G) or in terabytes (t or T).
RESTRICTIONS
• In order to grow a virtual volume in a remote-copy group, that group must first be stopped.
• You must grow the corresponding virtual volume on the secondary system by the same amount
or the remote-copy group will not restart.
EXAMPLES
The following example increases the size of virtual volume vv1 by two terabytes:
# growvv vv1 2t
NOTES
Ensure that there is sufficient space to mirror the grow of the volume on the secondary system before
growing the volume on the primary system.
The grow operations of remote-copy volumes are coordinated between the primary and secondary
targets. A coordinated grow can be started from either the primary or secondary target. Volumes
on remote targets are grown to the intended size of the local volume. If a target cannot be contacted
or remote copy is not started, only the local volume will be grown. A check is first made to see if
