Modify a Clone Physical Disk

You assign the storage resources and Quality of Service (QoS) attributes when you create a clone physical disk. As needs change, you can modify the current configuration for the clone physical disk. You can modify an existing clone physical disk from the Oracle VM Manager.

Prerequisite:: Oracle FS System login credentials with dedicated account privileges

In an Oracle FS System, physical disks are referred to as LUNs, and clone physical disks are referred to as Clone LUNs.

Refer to the Oracle Flash Storage System Administrator’s Guide for information about modifying clone physical disks (Clone LUNs).

Note: There is no visible difference between physical disks and clone physical disks in the Oracle VM Manager.

In the Oracle VM Manager, select the Storage tab.
From the available SAN servers in the navigation tree, select the Oracle FS System upon which the clone physical disk you want to modify resides.
Select Physical Disks from the Perspective: drop-down list in the toolbar at the top of the content area of the page.
Select the clone physical disk you want to modify.
In the toolbar at the top of the content area of the page, click the Edit Physical Disk pencil icon.
In the Edit Physical Disk dialog, edit any of the following:
Name

Identifies the name that is assigned to a clone physical disk for administrative purposes. Clone physical disk names must be unique across the Oracle FS System and must be 82 or fewer UTF characters (255 or fewer ASCII characters).
Note: Changing the clone physical disk name in Oracle VM Manager does not change the Clone LUN name on the Oracle FS System. To change the Oracle FS System Clone LUN name, use the Oracle FS System or Oracle FS CLI.

New Size

Specify the size to which you want to increase the clone physical disk.
Note: When you modify a clone physical disk, you cannot decrease the clone physical disk size.

Extra Information

You cannot use the Extra Information field to change the priority level of an existing clone physical disk (Clone LUN) in Oracle VM Manager. You need to use the Oracle FS System or Oracle FS CLI to modify these options on an existing Clone LUN.

Description

Indicates the description of the Oracle FS System clone physical disk.

Shareable

Determines whether the clone physical disk will be available to share across storage arrays.

Thin Provision

This option is not available to modify.
Click OK.
Result:The changes are applied to the clone physical disk and display in the Physical Disks table in the content area of the page.
