Storage increase or add...

[firefox32]

Hi,

I try to use zimbra appliance (VMZ) with vmware server 2.0.0.

I wuold like to know how is it possibile to increase storage space or add a new one.

I read in the ZCA Administration Guide: "You should

regularly monitor the disk capacity and when disks reach the 85% full

threshold, you should plan to add additional disk space." but how to do it?
Tnx in advance,

Nicolo'

So i suold simply increase second hd from 12gb to 50gb, for example, so reboot my virtual machine with gparted and expand fill the partition to the allocated space and zimbra appliance use that new space?

Not that simple actually since the appliance is using logical disks (lvm2). I am trying to do the same since this morning and since I never used logical volumes I am a bit struggling ...

So I completed it. The easiest way I found is to create a new virtual hard drive. Then under ubuntu, follow the instruction of that article

In fact it is quite easy finally .... Just add a new disk to your virtual machine and run from a terminal

sudo /etc/init.d/zimbraExpandLV start
