To increase the size of a file system to a specified size

• To increase the size of a file system to a specified size, enter the following:

  Storage> fs growto tier_name fs_name new_length 
  [pool1[,disk1,...]] [protection=disk|pool] [balanced] [num_vols]

  If no pool is specified with the command, the disks for growing the file system can be taken from any available pool. The protection flag takes the default value of disk in this case. The value of the protection field cannot be set to pool when no pool is specified with the command. This operation may convert the layout of the file system if the command determines that the new file system is too large for the original layout.

  If balanced=yes, all the volumes of the file system are grown by the same percentage which is calculated based on the specified new_length. If balanced=no, the file system is grown linearly starting from the last volume.

To increase the size of a file system by a specified size

• To increase the size of a file system by a specified size, enter the following:

  Storage> fs growby tier_name fs_name length_change 
  [pool1[,disk1,...]] [protection=disk|pool] [balanced] [num_vols]

  If no pool is specified with the command, the disks for growing the file system can be taken from any available pool. The protection flag takes the default value of disk in this case. The value of the protection field cannot be set to pool when no pool is specified with the command. This operation may convert the layout of the file system if the command determines that the new file system is too large for the original layout.

  If balanced=yes, all the volumes of the file system are grown by the same percentage which is calculated based on the specified length_change. If balanced=no, the file system is grown linearly starting from the last volume.

  fs_name	Specifies the file system whose size is increased. If you specify a file system that does not exist, an error message is displayed.
  tier_name	Specifies the tier name.
  new_length	Expands the file system to a specified size. The size that you specify must be a positive number, and it must be bigger than the size of the existing file system. If the new file system is not larger than the size of the existing file system, an error message is displayed, and no action is taken. This variable is used with the Storage> fs growto command.
  length_change	Expands the file system by a specified size. The size that you specify must be a positive number, and it must be lesser than the available space. If it exceeds the available space, an error message is displayed, and no action is taken. This variable is used with the Storage> fs growby command.
  pool1[,disk1,...]	Specifies the pool(s) or disk(s) to use for the file system. If you specify a pool or disk that does not exist, an error message is displayed, and the file system is not resized. You can specify more than one pool or disk by separating the name with a comma; however, do not include a space between the comma and the name. To find a list of existing pools and disks, use the Storage> pool list command. See About configuring storage pools. To find a list of the existing disks, use the Storage> disk list command. The disk needs to be part of the pool or an error message is displayed.
  protection	The default value for the protection field is disk. Available options are: disk - if the protection is set to disk, then mirrors are created on separate disks. This flag only works for file systems of type mirrored, mirrored-striped, and striped-mirror. The disks may or may not be in the same pool. pool - if the protection is set to pool, then mirrors are created in separate pools. This flag only works for file systems of type mirrored, mirrored-striped, and striped-mirror. If not enough space is available, then the file system creation operation fails.
  num_vols	Number of volumes to be created for growto and growby operations.
