Increase disk space

[simon.wright321]

Not had any luck in finding the info, does any one know how to increase the 2 x 40gb disks deployed with the OVA for central 1.4.

Thank you

Greetings, I am the Cisco Technical Marketing Engineer for UCS Central.

It is possible to increase the disk size of the logical volumes created by the deployment of the .OVA, however you need to have root file system access, therefore you have to have the debug plugin installed. This is only made available through Cisco TAC.

Please unicast me.

Cisco TAC's official position is that since the Central VM is linux based it is not a supported procedure to expand disk space after creation of VM and TAC would like to investigate any instance of Disk Space filling up to understand the cause to assist and mitigate.

Operations documents do suggest to "double" the resources assigned to "Large" environments during OVA roll out.
