Expanding the data volumes

Using this option, you can increase the size of the data volumes to a specified value, across the RDS. The new volume size can be specified in sectors, kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB) or terabytes (TB) and cannot exceed the maximum size that the volume can be grown to.

Note:

Trying to expand the volumes when replication is active in the Synchronous mode fails. To expand the volume, temporarily change the mode of replication to Asynchronous or Synchronous Override. After you have finished expanding the volume you can switch back to the synchronous mode of replication.

To expand the data volumes

  1. Select the Primary data volume or the Secondary data volume and right-click. Select the Expand Volume option from the menu that appears.
  2. The Expand Volume dialog box is displayed.

    • Specify the new size for the volume in the New Size field.

    • Select the unit for the volume size from the drop-down list.

  3. Click OK to expand the volumes across the RDS.
