Expanding the Size of a Volume

As your application needs grow, you might want to expand your volume instead of adding more volumes to your gateway. In this case, you can do one of the following:

  • Create a snapshot of the volume you want to expand and then use the snapshot to create a new volume of a larger size. For information about how to create a snapshot, see Creating a One-Time Snapshot. For information about how to use a snapshot to create a new volume, see Creating a volume.

  • Use the cached volume you want to expand to clone a new volume of a larger size. For information about how to clone a volume, see Cloning a Volume. For information about how to create a volume, see Creating a volume.
