Expand the Size of the NAS Pool

You can increase the size of the NAS pool as your NAS storage space requirements increase, without affecting the services to the clients. However, you cannot decrease the size of the NAS pool.

Prerequisites

The Storage Centers must have enough capacity to allocate more storage space to the FluidFS cluster.

The maximum size of the NAS pool is:
  • 2 PB with one Storage Center
  • 4 PB with two Storage Centers

Steps

  1. In the Storage view, select a FluidFS cluster.
  2. Click the Summary tab.
  3. In the right pane, click Actions → Storage Centers → Expand NAS Pool. The Expand NAS Pool dialog box opens.
  4. In the NAS Pool Size field, type a new size for the NAS pool in gigabytes (GB) or terabytes (TB).
    NOTE:The new size is bound by the size displayed in the Minimum New Size field and the Maximum New Size field.
  5. Click OK. If the container has more than one storage type, a drop-down list will appear.
  6. From the Storage Type drop-down list, select the type of storage pool, which includes a single data page size and a specified redundancy level.
  7. Click OK.
    The Expand NAS Pool dialog box displays the status of the process.
