5 Managing storage
After an application is hosted or shared folder is created on your HP Storage System using a
storage-allocation wizard, you can manage its storage and data by:
•
“Increasing or reducing the allocated storage” (page 33)
•
“Changing the percent full warning threshold” (page 33)
•
“Removing application areas from view” (page 34)
•
“Changing permissions, names, descriptions, or paths of shared folders” (page 34)
•
“Deleting shared folders” (page 35)
Increasing or reducing the allocated storage
You can increase or reduce the storage allocated to an application component, user-defined
application, or shared folder after storage is initially allocated and configured using a
storage-allocation wizard.
Increasing the storage allocated requires ASM to grow the logical disk (increase the amount of
hard drive space allocated to the logical disk) holding the data. Reducing the allocated storage
does not reduce the size of the logical disk holding the data, because once hard drive space is
allocated to a logical disk, it cannot be unallocated due to the configuration of hard drives.
NOTE:
Unallocated storage on a logical disk is re-allocated by ASM when new or additional
storage is allocated to an application component or shared folder and the advanced configuration
values selected for the storage matches those of the logical disk.
For example, if an application component or shared folder's allocated storage is increased, any
unallocated space on the logical disk where it resides is used before the logical disk grows.
1.
Select the application component, user-defined application, or shared folder in the content
pane.
2.
In the Actions pane, click Allocate Space to open the Allocate Space wizard.
3.
Change the size value:
•
Highlight the storage size unit value and then enter a new value as necessary: megabytes
(MB), gigabytes (GB), or terabytes (TB).
•
Highlight the storage size number value and enter a new value, or click the arrow buttons
to change the value.
The Size Range field shows the minimum and maximum storage space that can be allocated
to an application component, user-defined application, or shared folder. Whenever you
change the storage space allocated to an application component or change an advanced
configuration setting for an application component, the maximum value for Size Range is
recalculated for each application component shown.

Changing the percent full warning threshold
You can change the percent full warning threshold value for an application component, user-defined
application, or shared folder after storage is initially allocated and configured using a
storage-allocation wizard. See
“Setting a percent full warning threshold” (page 21)
for more
information.
