Can I extend the size of a Virtual Volume that is in an RCIP Group?

Can I extend the size of a Virtual Volume that is in an RCIP Group?  The UNIX Team has asked me to do that.  Is there a process that you have to go through:

1.  Stop RCIP.
2.  Extend the source volume.
3.  Extend the target volume.
4.  restart RCIP.

I just made that up.  How do I do this?

Wow. You pretty much nailed it. Actually it's even simpler! The secondary volume will increase automatically as the primary increases.

From the HP 3PAR Remote Copy User's Guide (see Growing Virtual Volumes):

1. Stop the primary volume group that contains the virtual volume you want to grow
2. Increase the size of the virtual volume
3. Start the volume group

CLI commands are in the Remote Copy User's Guide. Or you can use the Management Console.
