This page provides details about which volume settings are editable and instructions for how to edit a volume.
Editable settings
You can change the following settings of a volume after it's created:
Volume details: the capacity of a volume is adjustable up and down in 1 GiB increments. The size of the file data in the volume must be larger than the capacity. When you increase the capacity, the pool that hosts the volume must have enough available capacity to accommodate the additional capacity requirement.
If the storage pool doesn't have enough capacity to accommodate the additional capacity requirement, you can increase the capacity of the pool, see Storage pool capacity.
Protocol configurations: you can change the configuration for selected protocols, but you can't change the protocol itself. For example, if the volume's protocol type is Server Message Block (SMB), you can choose to enable or disable SMB encryption, hide or show the SMB share, and enable or disable access-based enumeration.
Storage pool settings: you can re-assign volumes to different pools, which is useful if you want to switch service levels. For example, if the storage pool hosts a Premium service level volume, you can re-assign the volume to an Extreme service level storage pool and the other way around. The change to service levels lets you manage volume throughput limits and per GiB costs.
Export rules: for volumes that use NFSv3 or NFSv4.1 protocol types, you can edit the export rules.
Snapshot schedules: you can modify the snapshot schedule. You can either make the snapshot directory visible if you want to enable file system access to snapshot versions by clients or allow scheduled snapshots to configure the volume to automatically take snapshots.
Labels: you can add, modify, or delete labels.
Maximum throughput: the maximum throughput for Premium and Extreme service level volumes depends on the size of the volume and the service level you chose. An Extreme volume goes twice as fast as a Premium volume of the same size. A larger volume provides higher performance based on additional IOPS or throughput. Depending on the region or location you select, the maximum throughput of a Standard service level volume depends on the capacity of the storage pool.
Considerations
Consider the following before you edit a volume:
For volumes in an active volume replication, changes to either the source or destination volume also apply to the replication partner. For volumes in a stopped replication, changes apply independently from the replication partner.
For volumes in a volume replication relationship, when you change the source volume capacity, the destination volume capacity also changes. The source and destination pools need enough available capacity to accommodate the change.
The capacity of the volume also impacts its throughput limits.
You can only move volumes to pools that are in the same location and have the same Active Directory policy, customer-managed encryption key (CMEK) policy, LDAP, and Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) settings as the pool that hosts the volume.
Only pools that satisfy the conditional criteria are listed for selections. The target storage pool needs enough available capacity to accommodate the volume.
The maximum throughput for Standard, Premium, and Extreme service level volumes depends on the capacity of the volume and the service level you chose. An Extreme volume goes twice as fast as a Premium volume of the same capacity. A larger volume provides higher performance based on additional IOPS or throughput.
