Snapdrive can resize a lun larger or smaller... You can't shrink below the used space  https://library.netapp.com/ecm/ecm_download_file/ECMP1506027

To get comfortable with the process, you could clone the volume or lun, then safely test on the clone... Also, no matter what, before shrinking the production lun, create a snapshot from SMSQL, then you are protected if there is an issue on the resizing..
