Increasing the size of the SRL

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. The checkpoint information is preserved during this operation.

Prerequisite for increasing the size of the SRL in an RDS

  Before increasing the size of the SRL, make sure that there is enough free space in the disk groups on all the hosts in the RDS.

 To increase the size of the SRL in an RDS

1. From the tree view, select the name of the RDS. For example, hr_rvg.
2. Choose Replication > Resize SRL. To use the pop-up menu, right-click the name of the RDS and select Resize SRL.
3. In the New Size box, type the new size of the SRL. Note that this value must be an integer. You cannot enter decimal numbers.
4. Select the unit of measurement. The default is megabytes (MB).
5. Click OK. The result box displays a message, which indicates whether or not the operation succeeded.
6. In the result box, click OK.

    

   Note:
   Use the SRL tab in the RVG View to view the new size of the resized SRL. For instructions on decreasing the size of the SRL on the Primary, see Decreasing the size of the SRL on the Primary. For instructions on resizing the SRL on the Secondary, see Decreasing the size of the SRL on the Secondary. If you resize the SRL of an RDS containing a bunker Secondary, the Resize SRL task resizes the bunker SRL also.
