ACS 5.3 change disk size

[zahir_zahir]

Hi there,

I was asked to performe upgrade from acs 5.3 to 5.4 (vm), but i noticed that someone installed it on 80gb partition and there is 500gb as one of the requriments in upgrade and install procedure. What is strange to me is that "dir disk:" command shows such an output:

5165345067 bytes available

And under ESX i see 80gb partition.

Anyway, is there any way to extend partition size to 500gb? Can I just change it under ESX? Is there any procedure to take under ACS console?

Thanks!

If someone from Cisco knows how the device reacts to the disk change s/he can help us to accurately answer your question about the impact of changing the size of the desk.

What is the provisioning policy for your virtual disk? is it "Thin Provision"? If yes, the 80 GB may indicate the current data on the disk becaue the "Think Provision" disks consumes as storage as it needs and does not eagerly reserve the whole desk space on the creation time.

If the 80 GB is fixed however and you want to extend the HD storage I suggest that you take a backup, re-image and then restore the backup again. this will save you any side effects that my result due HD size change.
