You can use ONTAP System Manager classic (available in ONTAP 9.7 and earlier) to resize a FlexGroup volume by resizing existing resources or by adding new resources.

Before you begin

  • To resize a FlexGroup volume, there must be enough free space on the existing aggregates.

  • To expand a FlexGroup volume, there must be enough free space on the aggregate that you are using for expansion.

Steps

  1. Click Storage > Volumes.

  2. From the drop-down menu in the SVM field, select All SVMs.

  3. Select the FlexGroup volume that you want to resize, and then click More Actions > Resize.

  4. In the Resize FlexGroup Volume window, specify the size to which you want to resize the FlexGroup volume.

    By default, existing aggregates are used to resize the FlexGroup volume. Beginning with System Manager 9.6, the minimum size that is allowed for the volume is displayed next to the size fields.

    Note

    If you want to expand the FlexGroup volume by adding new resources, click advanced options (advanced options).

  5. Specify the percentage of the Snapshot copy reserve.
