Detect Resizing of a Target LUN

Oracle MaxRep for SAN allows you to scan the target LUNs for capacity changes and reflect those changes in the protection plans.

When resizing replication pair LUNs, resize the LUNs in the following order:
  • Resize the target LUNs

  • Detect the target LUN resize in the Oracle MaxRep for SAN GUI

  • Resize the source LUN

  • Detect the source LUN resize in the GUI

Modify the size of your LUN by following the procedure that is described in the Oracle Flash Storage System Administrator’s Guide.

  1. Navigate to Settings > Oracle Storage > Toolkit for MaxRep.
  2. In the Select MaxRep Option page, select Detect Resize and click Next.
  3. From the Select Oracle Storage list, select the Oracle FS System that contains the source LUN for the replication pair to be resized.
  4. Expand the entry for the Oracle FS System containing the LUN.
  5. From the LUN navigation tree, select the target LUN of the replication pair.
    Tip: Click the + sign to expand the list of available LUNs.
    Note: The Select LUN Scan Options table only lists the target LUNs that are used in replication pairs.
  6. After selecting the LUN, click Next.
  7. Confirm that the correct LUN is selected, and then click Submit.
    Result:
    The system displays the Policy History for LUN Resize page.
  8. Verify that the Policy History status shows Pending, followed by Success.
  9. Click the Monitor tab and review the Alerts and Notifications for possible errors.

If necessary, resume data protection of the replication pair.

To view the status of the operation, navigate to Settings > Oracle Storage > Toolkit for MaxRep, and click Show History. The Status column shows the state of the operation: Pending, In Progress, Success, or Failure.
