($INS_DIR means "Program Directory" specified at the Manager installation.)

DESCRIPTION

This command adds capacity to a virtual disk.

There are the following three methods for adding capacity to virtual disks:

Specifying the amount of capacity to be added.
Specifying the physical disk where capacity is to be added and the capacity of the physical disk.
Specifying the physical disk where capacity is to be added, and the total free space on the physical disk.

Execute this command as the administrator for the operating system (that is, with “Administrator” or “root” privileges).

OPTIONS

-v virtual-disk-name: Specify the name of the virtual disk where capacity is to be added.

-e physical-disk-name1[,physical-disk-name2[,...]]: Specify the name of the physical disk where capacity is to be added.

-z size{M|G|T}: Specify the size of the extra capacity to be added, including the units (“M” for megabytes, “G” for gigabytes and “T” for terabytes).

-h: Indicates how to use the command.

EXAMPLES

Adding 1024 MB of extra capacity to virtual disk “VDISK”.

# /opt/FJSVssmgr/sbin/vscmcmd addvdcapacity -v VDISK -z 1024M
Command terminated normally.

Adding 512 MB of extra capacity from physical disk “RDISK” to virtual disk “VDISK”.

# /opt/FJSVssmgr/sbin/vscmcmd addvdcapacity -v VDISK -e RDISK -z 512M
Command terminated normally.

Adding 256 MB of extra capacity from physical disk “RDISK001” and 512 MB of extra capacity from physical disk “RDISK002” to virtual disk “VDISK”.

# /opt/FJSVssmgr/sbin/vscmcmd addvdcapacity -v VDISK -e RDISK001,RDISK002 -z 256M,512MB
Command terminated normally.

Adding all of the free space on physical disk “RDISK001” and physical disk “RDISK002” to virtual disk “VDISK”.

# /opt/FJSVssmgr/sbin/vscmcmd addvdcapacity -v VDISK -e RDISK001,RDISK002
Command terminated normally.

EXIT STATUS

0: The addition of extra capacity to the virtual disk has terminated normally.

1: The addition of extra capacity to the virtual disk has terminated abnormally.
