      Original description from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2155830

       
      Describe the issue:
      Even though we state in the documentation that `The size of the requested PVC must be the same as that of the source volume of the snapshot` it raises the question how to deal with a situation where a restore to a bigger sized PVC is desired.
      When this is tried a error message is shown and the restore fails.

      Describe the task you were trying to accomplish:
      Restoring a volume snapshot to a new Persistent Volume Claim (PVC) with a bigger size to accommodate anticipated growth

      Suggestions for improvement:
      Add to section `Restoring volume snapshots in single node openshift` a hint that first a snapshot needs to be restored to a PVC of the same size which can then be resized, after snapshot has completed, e.g.
      `If it is desired to have a bigger sized PVC as restore target, first restore to a PVC of the same size as the source volume of the snapshot and increase the PVC size after a successful restore`
