Verify the current size of mount point /data:
Code Block language bash theme RDark df -h /data
The system output should resemble the following:
Verify the new disk size:
Code Block language bash theme RDark fdisk -l | grep /dev/sdc
The system output should resemble the following:
Use fdisk to create a new partition for the new size:
Code Block language bash theme RDark fdisk /dev/sdc
- Press p to print the partition table to identify the number of partitions:
If this is the first time the disk is extended, you should only see sdc1. If this is a subsequent extension - you will see additional sdcX listed (e.g. sdc2 for the second extension). - Press n to create a new primary partition.
- Press p for primary.
- When the system prompts for a partition number, enter the next number depending on the output of the partition table print.
If this is the first extension and you see only one row of output - enter 2. If this is the second disk extension then the partition number will be 3, and so on. - Press Enter twice
- Press t to change the system's partition ID.
- Press 2 to select the newly created partition (Remember: if this is a subsequent disk extension - the number will be 3 or higher).
- Type 8e to change the Hex Code of the partition for Linux LVM.
Press w to write the changes to the partition table.
Note The following warning is valid, the system reboot will fix the issue:
“WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or resource busy. The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at the next reboot or after you run partprobe(8) or kpartx(8)”
- Press p to print the partition table to identify the number of partitions:
Reboot the system:
Code Block language bash theme RDark reboot
When the system is available again, ensure the new partition is available:
Code Block language bash theme RDark fdisk -l | grep /dev/sdc
The system output should resemble the following (note the new sdcX added):
- Stop the application by running app-util.sh and selecting option 2 (stop all).
Configure the new partition:
Note If the new partition is not sdc2, substitute sdc2 for the right qualifier in all the following commands
Code Block language bash theme RDark pvcreate /dev/sdc2 vgextend vg_data /dev/sdc2 lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/vg_data/lv_data
Identify the /data file system type (for CentOS 7.2+ based appliances the type is xfs):
Code Block language bash theme RDark cat /etc/fstab | grep /data
The system output should resemble the following:
Resize the file system. Select the correct command below for your file system type:
Code Block language bash theme RDark title For ext4 resize2fs /dev/vg_data/lv_data
Code Block language bash theme RDark title For xfs xfs_growfs /dev/vg_data/lv_data
The system output should resemble the following:
Display the new size of the /data mount point:
Code Block language bash theme RDark df -h /data
- Update the Store configuration file (see below)using the Admin Console under Utilities → Store → Store Allocation.
- Start all services using the Admin Console or app-util.sh.
Option 2: Adding an Additional Data Disk
...
Verify the current size of the /data mount point:
Code Block language bash theme RDark df -h /data
The system output should resemble the following:
Identify the new disk:
Code Block language bash theme RDark lsblk [ Note: Example output below is filtered to show only sdd disk information, but should include many more entries of sda, sdb and sdc disks ] NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sdd 8:32 0 200G 0 disk
Stop the application by running app-util.sh and selecting option 2 (stop all)
Execute the following commands. Replace the name of data disk if it is different in your environment.
Code Block language bash theme RDark pvcreate -ff /dev/sdd vgextend vg_data /dev/sdd lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/vg_data/lv_data
Identify the /data file system type (for CentOS 7.2+ based appliances the type is xfs):
Code Block language bash theme RDark cat /etc/fstab | grep /data
The system output should resemble the following:
Resize the file system. Select the correct command below for your file system type:
Code Block language bash theme RDark title For ext4 resize2fs /dev/vg_data/lv_data
Code Block language bash theme RDark title For xfs xfs_growfs /dev/vg_data/lv_data
The system output should resemble the following:Display the new size of the /data mount point:
Code Block language bash theme RDark df -h /data
The system output should resemble the following:
- Update the Store configuration file (see below).
Update the Store Configuration File
- using the Admin Console under Utilities → Store → Store Allocation.
- Start all services using the Admin Console or app-util.sh and selecting option 1 (start all)
- .
