Hi Team,

I am using Cisco FMC Virtual Machine my firewall model is Cisco Firepower 2110.
I am facing the issue that is my FMC virtual machine storage space is used 100%, now I am unable to access my FMC via browser also I am not able to access it with the virtual machine level its says that please increase the disk space of the virtual machine.
if I increase the VM disk space 300 to 500GB should it works? or I need to also do some configuration at OS level?

please guide me thanks

Hello,

Yes, just increase the VM disk space, no need any other changes I believe. I have done this before I didn't have to do anything els.

Thanks Sulaiman Bhai,

Really great-full for your answer.

I will do it and then I let you know, hope this will be working the same as you said.

If its work then i will ask you where i need to delete the extra spaces in the FMC VM i mean how can i overcome this issue for future prospect. 300GB space is pretty much space.

Thank you, Sulaiman, now the issue has been resolve after increasing the hard drive space of my FMC Virtual Machine.

One question is how can we take complete configuration backup of my FMC.

2nd question is: how can we delete extra storage space into my FMC VM Machine so that avoid such type of storage-related issue.

Hello shahzadali,

answer first question regarding the FMC back up, login to the FMC

got system, Tools on the right hand when you hove the mouse over the system then chose Backup/Restore it will lead you to the back up page then you can chose the devices that you want to backup.

Regarding the second question I wouldn't know until i see your VMW options, but i have no doubt about that there is way you can resize the storages from VMWare go to on Microsoft community they have some good info. Its all about which VMWare you use, there is link below it might help.
