Resizing a partition
A partition can be resized to a higher or lower value.
This operation is supported on the following types of NetBackup Virtual Appliance:
Combined master and media server for remote offices and branch offices (ROBO)
Media server for data centers (DC)
Master server
Review the following points before you resize a storage partition:
The AdvancedDisk, Configuration, MSDP, MSDP Catalog, and the NetBackup Catalog partitions can be resized to a higher or a lower value. To resize, enter values in increments of 1 GB.
Each partition has a minimum and maximum supported size. Ensure that you resize a partition within these values.
Note:
Resizing a partition may take a significant amount of time depending on the configuration of the system and how much data is present. In some instances, the operation may appear to hang while running. Allow the operation time to fully complete.
