VNXe - Resize a replicated volume?

Is there anyway to resize a replicated CIFS share without having to perform a full re-sync?  Thanks.

    Yes, since you are deleting the replication session for resizing the file system - you would need to start the replication all over again when you restart it. I am not aware of any roadmap information in this regard, you should contact your EMC rep for roadmap/futures information.

    In VNXe systems, you would need to remove the replication session before you would be able to resize the file systems.

    thank for the reply

    What is the Pause for them ?

    Do you have to recreate the replication destination fresh and replicate all the data again ?

    Thanks.  So a full re-sync is required.  Can you tell us if their is anything on the road map to allow for resizing of replicated volumes without having to perform a full sync again?

    There have been several requests for this feature and we are tracking it for a future release.  At this time there is no commitment to when we can deliver resizing a replicated volume
