Increasing the size of the SRL using VVR VEA

Use the Resize SRL task to increase the size of the Storage Replicator Log (SRL) in a Replicated Data Set (RDS). The SRL Resize task enables you to increase the size of the Storage Replicator Log (SRL) even while the application is active or while replication is in progress.
