Increasing the Size of the SRL on the Primary

Use the Resize SRL task to increase the size of the Storage Replicator Log (SRL) on the Primary in a Replicated Data Set (RDS). The SRL Resize task enables you to increase the size of the Storage Replicator Log (SRL) on the Primary even while the application is active or while replication is in progress. The checkpoint information is preserved during this operation. The Resize SRL task does not increase the size of the SRL on the Secondary.
