I have started leaning on the virtual blade in the wave device, and have run out of space. I looked at the virtual server and it was setup with only a 30 gb hard drive. How do I find out what the actual disk space is on the wave device? Also if it is under utilized, is there a utility that I can use to expand the disk drive on the virtual server?

Hi Dan,
Unfortunately, once the disk has been created for the virtual blade, the size cannot be modified, so the best approach for your situation would be adding a second virtual drive to it.
To do it, you would need to do the following:
As for how to check the actual disk usage, you can use the command "show disk details" and then look at mount point "/vbspace"
I hope this helps

Thanks Daniel!
Below is our current disk space, it looks like I have enough space on the /vbspace to add a 30gb drive. Is there any way to use some of the space from the other directories to make the /vbspace larger?
Also what command did you use to get into configuration mode on the virtual-blade to add the disk(WAE(config-vb)#)? As a side note I did this with the blade running, I can't stop till after hours, but want to get the commands correct. also I am doing this from the CLI on the physical wave, not from the cm.
I tried #config
#Virtual-Blade

Hi Dan,
I'm afraid the partitioning scheme cannot be manually modified. Most of the partitions need to have specific sizes for WAAS to operate properly.
As for your other question, the way to get into the virtual-blade configuration prompt is using the "WAE(config)# virtual-blade
