Hello Rajan, maxgrow

Hello Rajan,

maxgrow indicates how much a volume can be grown .. i.e vol01 ...so vol01 (existing size + new size) can be grown to max 135G

however maxsize shows about the diskgroup on how much size a new volume can be created .. so if u create a new volume, you can create it for 23G
