how to extend a replicated filesystem ?

hi zakaria,

Please consider moving this question as-is (no need to recreate) to the proper forum for maximum visibility.  Questions written to the users' own "Discussions" space don't get the same amount of attention and questions can go unanswered for a long time.

You can do so by selecting "Move" under ACTIONS along the upper-right.  Then search for and select: "VNX Family Support Forum" which would be the most relevant for this question.

If you have an active replication session between the source and target, you don't need to stop or even pause your replication.  When extending the source filesystem, the control station notifies the destination filesystem to extend as well.  So, to answer your question - yes, extending the source filesystem automatically calls an extension of the destination.  Be sure to check the space in the pools on the destination side, to ensure you have enough disk space on the destiation VNX as well!

You can perform the extension from the Unisphere GUI or from the Control Station CLI - use which ever method is most family to you.

Let us know if that helps!

What errors are you seeing on the destination side?  That would indicate the error.  You might start with 'nas_task  -list' on the remote system, to see if there is an error message related to the extension or replication.  If there is an errored or failed task, you can get more information on it with 'nas_task -info '.
