v These snapshots can still be used to restore their individual master volumes.
v The same goes for resizing a snapshot: it does not change the size of its master
volume.
If applied on a volume that is part of an IBM Hyper-Scale Mobility relation, the
command has to be acknowledged by both source and destination volumes.
Otherwise, a completion code is returned (see below).
In the following example, the -y option suppresses the
"ARE_YOU_SURE_YOU_WANT_TO_ENLARGE_VOLUME Y/N" prompt.
force_on_inactive_mirror
v This parameter enables to force the resizing of a mirror peer even if mirroring is
inactive (this could happen when the mirroring cannot be activated due to size
mismatch).
