EMC Celerra Manager unallocated stripe space slicing
Hi everyone,
I have an EMC storage array which was configured by an outsourced provider. We are running out of room on one of our file systems in use by virtual machines. I need to slice some available space from another stripe and reassign it to be used for this VM file system (meta volume).
Is this possible in Celerra Manager or CLI?
This is the screenshot of the stripe with available space. The VirtualMachines meta volume below it is where we would like the space moved to.
Thanks,
Ryan

Hi,
one more thing.
Make sure the file system you want to extend was created using AVM.
The command "nas_fs -i " will tell you on the "pool" line.
If it was created with AVM, use the AVM to extend it :
# nas_fs -x size=X pool=

Hi,
it seems you are using AVM ( Automated Volume Manager ) to create your file systems.
Please, post the output of :
# nas_pool -size -all

Hi Gustavo,
I wanted to ask a couple of questions before I execute this command:
1) Is the "Size" argument asking for the total desired size of the volume, or is it asking for how much we want to be added?
2) Is the command safe to execute while it's online?
Thanks,
Ryan

extend means the additional size
it's online and safe - of course you need to be sure the size is correct since you can't undo it

Hi,

You have to put how much you are adding to the file system.
2) Is the command safe to execute while it's online?
Yes, it's safe to execute it online.
