Before you manage your virtual disks (VDisks) on your server,
you must consider some important issues.
The following information is important when managing your
VDisks:
- If you use the –fmtdisk parameter or the SAN Volume Controller Console to
create a formatted VDisk on a SAN Volume Controller that
you want to map to the server, wait until the format operation completes
before creating the host mapping to associate the VDisk with the server.
- The server does not support shrinkage or expansion of VDisks.
Shrinkage is not possible, but to achieve the same effect as expansion,
you can perform the following steps:
- Create a new VDisk on the SAN Volume Controller.
- Map the new VDisk to the server.
- Use the server management tools to add the new VDisk to the desired
server aggregate.
