Adding Space
Adding Space
The following mechanisms can increase available space:
• Add Disks
The solution to insufficient storage is to add disks or enclosures to the system. For
information on adding disks to a system, refer to Adding Disks to a Storage Center
System on page 116.
After disks are added to a system, the space may not be immediately available. Make
sure that you allow enough time for the system to prepare disks to be used to store data.
• Delete Unused Volumes
Delete unused volumes. (An unused volume is not an empty volume.) For information
about deleting unused volumes, refer to Deleting a Volume on page 89.
• Empty the Recycle Bin
Make sure that the
Recycle Bin is empty. Space from deleted volumes is not recovered
until the Recycle Bin is empty. Select the Recycle Bin . From the shortcut menu, select
Empty Recycle Bin .
• Expire Replays
Expire Replays that are not needed. For more information, refer to Expiring a Replay
Explicitly on page 312. Select each volume separately, and expire Replays from the Replay
tab.
• Use Enterprise Manager
The Enterprise Manager Server Agent Space Recovery program finds and recovers
unused disk space as reported by Windows. For more information, refer to the
Enterprise Manager User Guide .
