Will My Disk Data Be Lost After I Expand the Disk Capacity?

Data will not be deleted during a system disk or data disk capacity expansion. However, incorrect operations during an expansion may result in data loss or exceptions. You are advised to back up the disk data before expanding capacity.

For details about disk backups, see the Backing Up EVS Disks.
For details about disk snapshots, see Creating an EVS Snapshot.
