Wave-274 & Wave 474 - Virtual Blade Disk sizes

[tcartledge]

Hi All,

Please advise what the maximum disk size is per Cisco Virtual Blade running on both the WAVE-274 & WAVE-474 devices?

I have found that

On the WAVE-274 - DRE uses 40 GB, CIFS uses 120 GB. VB's get a pre-allocated 35GB however I believe you can increase this

On the WAVE-474 - DRE uses 60 GB, CIFS uses 120 GB and the VB's also get a pre-allocated 35GB again with the ability to increase this.

but it doesnt mention what the maximum size is.

Also please can you advise whether we could use the cifs volume to provision more space for these disks?

Cheers

Tim

Hi Tim,

These disk size are fixed and cannot be altered, hence you will not be able to allocate the unused cifs/dre to vb disk or the unused vb disk for cifs and dre.

There is no way to increase this as well, as most of these are determined whne you load the software and the partition table is fixed. Hence you wont find any maximum numbers. 32 gb is what you will get as part of wave 274 and wave 474 and that is the maximum disk space. You can split this across two virual blades , allocating them 16gb each , but however the total still cannot exceed the maximum of 32gb for all the virual machines.
