It is assumed that you have one or more journals defined on the storage system and
visible in the Journals inventory. (If the journal is not visible, then it may be
necessary to manually refresh the inventory.)
If the journal is currently used by one or more replication pairs in PAIR/PAIR
status, then it will be necessary to pause those replication pairs for the expansion
to take full effect. Once expanded, the pairs can be resynchronized to PAIR/PAIR
status, if desired.
Only journals composed of DP-VOLs can be resized by the product.
-
If necessary, pause any replications using the journal to be expanded.
-
Locate the journal to be expanded, by navigating to one of the following
locations:
-
From any of these locations, click the Expand button. The Figure 2 will appear.
-
Enter a new size for the journal into the New Journal Size field, and click
OK.
-
Go to the Jobs Inventory to ensure that a journal expansion job has
been initiated, and wait for it to complete.
-
If the journal expansion is unsuccessful, review the Logs Inventory to find out why. The journal expansion
operation must be re-initiated by the user once the problem is resolved.
-
If desired, resume any replications using the journal that was expanded.
