Configuring a FlexVol volume to grow automatically

You configure FlexVol volumes to grow automatically to ensure that space in your aggregates is used efficiently, and to reduce the likelihood that your volumes will run out of space.

Step

  1. Enter the following command:vol autosize vol_name [-m size] [-I size] on

    -m size is the maximum size to which the volume will grow. Specify a size in k (KB), m (MB), g (GB) or t (TB).

    -I size is the increment by which the volume's size increases. Specify a size in k (KB), m (MB), g (GB) or t (TB).

If the specified FlexVol volume is about to run out of free space and is smaller than its maximum size, and if there is space available in its containing aggregate, its size will increase by the specified increment.
