If a storage device is full due to space allocated for storage pools, you can reduce the amount of space defined for each allocation.

Note

If the allocation size reduction affects data, the system moves data to other allocations in the pool (if space is available). If space is unavailable, the system deletes the oldest data.

  1. From the Trellix ESM dashboard, click menu.png and select More Settings.

  2. On the system navigation tree, select the device and click Settings.png.

  3. Click Storage Pools.

  4. On the bottom table, select the pool to reduce, then click Reduce Size.

  5. Enter the amount that you want to reduce the storage, then click OK.
