Hello, i have the following case
a customer has a freenas server(virtual machine) doplyed on his environment, he presented to freenas 12 TB of storage from a proliant server which has physical disks, in freenas they created a pool of 12 TB, using the full capacity of the disks as you know must be done. this pool was presented to vCenter and its used as a backup repository for VMs. Currently they have used 8TB, and have 4.23 TB free. untill now everything is ok.
Now they have a requirement, they need to present a storage of 2 TB aprox. to another server(VM); the reason? they need nore space for some reports, documentation, files used by an application, etc. and they want to use space from this 4 TB free, because they dont have any other source of storage for this purpose. My question here is: is there any way, i can resize this pool size, reduce its capacity in lets say 2 TB or in last instance, erase it and create 2 new pools, 1 of 10 TB and other of 2 TB(obviously backing up the information contained).
hope it was clear and hope someone can help me with some advice.
regards.
