Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • FlexGroup volume (FG)

Issue

  • Resizing a FlexGroup reports the following message:

The volume operation was successful but the size of the volume has not finished updating. Wait a few minutes, and then check that the size of the volume is "28.00TB" using the "volume show -vserver svm1 -volume FG1 -fields size" command. For further assistance, contact technical support.

  • Management (mgwd) logs show member volumes are busy when the FG was resized:
