Resizing the Cache and Snapshots Disks (Nasuni Filer Version 2.7)

The information in this document is specific to Nasuni Filer v2.7. It explains how to resize the cache and snapshot disks in Nasuni Filer on the VMware ESX/ESXi platform. Each disk can be resized independently of the other.

When you resize the cache, Nasuni recommends that the cache disk be no more than four times the size of the snap- shot disk. Failure to adhere to the suggested ratio can result in failed snapshots.

Additionally, you can only increase the size of the cache and snapshot disks. This means that you cannot decrease a value once you have increased it. Therefore, make sure you understand your resizing requirements before you make changes.
