Expand a virtual machine (VM) volume to allocate more space for programs and data in the guest operating system. Before expanding a VM volume, you may also need to expand its volume container, as described in Expanding a Volume Container on the everRun System, to ensure that the volume container has enough space to expand the volume and store snapshots.
You can expand a volume, but you cannot reduce the size of a volume. Use the following procedure to expand a volume only when the VM is stopped.
To expand a volume container
Next to Expand By, type the amount of storage space to add to the volume (in gigabytes (GB)). When you type the number, the dialog box displays the Expanded Volume Size that will result if you complete the operation.
