4.3.33.2 ALTER STORAGEPOOL

This command alters an existing Exascale storage pool.

Syntax

ALTER STORAGEPOOL
   [ NAME = storagepoolname ]
   [ SIZE = size ]
   [ TYPE = storagetype ]
   [ ADDCELLS = 'addcelllist' ]
   [ DROPCELLS = 'dropcelllist' ]
WHERE
   [ EXASCALECLUSTER = exascaleclustername ]
   NAME = storagepoolname

Arguments

• NAME: Changes the name of the Exascale storage pool.

• SIZE: Changes the size (in GB) of the storage pool.

• TYPE: Specify EF to create a flash-based storage pool using High Capacity Exadata storage servers. Otherwise, the storage pool media type is derived from the Exadata storage server type.
• ADDCELLS: Specifies the list of Exadata storage servers to add to the storage pool. The value is a space-seperated list of cell names. Note that the value is also surrounded by single quotes (as displayed in the command syntax).
• DROPCELLS: Specifies the list of Exadata storage servers to remove from the storage pool. The value is a space-seperated list of cell names. Note that the value is also surrounded by single quotes (as displayed in the command syntax).

The following arguments are available in the WHERE clause:

• EXASCALECLUSTER: Specifies the name of the Exascale cluster that contains the storage pool. This argument is optional if the OEDA configuration file (es.xml) contains only one Exascale cluster.
• NAME: Specifies the name for the Exascale storage pool that you want to alter.

Usage Notes

• When you use the ALTER STORAGEPOOL command, there is no immediate check to validate the specified storage pool size. However, deployment fails with an error if there is insufficient space.
