Answer

  • System Manager by default will enable autogrow with the autosize-mode set to Grow when creating the volume.
  • The autogrow settings cannot  be changed during volume creation in System Manager.
  • To change the autogrow settings using System Manager after the volume has been created, edit the volume.
    • To disable autogrow, uncheck Resize automatically.
    • To change the autogrow mode, select either Grow or Grow or shrink automatically.
    • To change the max autogrow size, edit the size options for the mode selected.
      • For Grow, only Maximum size is available.
        autosize_grow
      • For Grow or shrink automatically, both Minimum size and Maximum size are available.
        autosize_grow_shrink
  • Use the CLI or REST API if a volume needs to be created with specific autogrow settings.
  • For the API, here is the section used for autogrow during volume creation (see the API documentation for the full example):
POST    /storage/volumes
 
  "autosize": {
    "grow_threshold": 0,
    "maximum": 0,
    "minimum": 0,
    "mode": "grow",
    "shrink_threshold": 0
  },
