Modifying the size of an SMB 3.0 registered file share in SCVMM 2012 SP1

Hi -

We are leveraging the Netapp SMI-S 5.0 provider with SCVMM 2012 SP1 to register and use SMB 3.0 file shares on our HV clusters.  Working great after a few early problems.  One thing that we've yet to find is a solution to this problem.

On the netapp side, let's say a volume with size 1TB is created.  Then through SCVMM/SMI-S, a new file share is created within this volume for use with HV clusters/VMs.  Let's say, for example when creating this share through the SCVMM GUI that you define the file share size as 500gb.  This leaves 500gb free in the parent volume.

How in the world do you modify that file share size from the SCVMM perspective - if you start running low on space within the share.  The free space is definitely there, but we can't seem to find a way from within SCVMM to modify the file share 'size' (which is a parameter you have to define during file share creation) from original size to something larger (yet still smaller than parent volume size).

Anyone else seen this scenario and/or found a solution?  I apologize if this is already answered elsewhere - just not seeing much on searches.  Thanks in advance -
