I've just increased the storage of one of my running VM's from 8GB to 40GB To do this I needed to shutdown the running VM, and increase the size of the disk (with XenCenter) After restarting the VM again the disk size is still 8GB *, but when I look at the disk properties with XenCenter for that VM I do see the 40GB. * PHP: df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/xvda1 7.5G 3.4G 3.8G 48% / tmpfs 1.5G 0 1.5G 0% /lib/init/rw udev 10M 496K 9.6M 5% /dev tmpfs 1.5G 0 1.5G 0% /dev/shm Anyone here who might know what's going on here, and how to fix this? Thank you.
Increasing storage on a virtual machine is a multi-tier process. 1. Increase the size of the virtual harddisk 2. Increase the size of the partition 3. increase the size of the filesystem you did 1, but I think you still need to do 2 and 3 on the virtual system. Depending on weather you use LVS or normal partitions etc.
Yes.. So I've been reading (after I posted the message). Not sure how this is going to go, but will try 1st on a testing server. Thank you for the info.
