1. extend
hdd from vmware
ON LINUX VM
-------------
2. run echo
1 > /sys/block/sda/device/rescan (this is to rescan devices)
3. fdisk
/dev/sda
type p to list partitions
it will show the new disk size ( Disk /dev/sda: new*GB )
type d to delete the current partition which you want to increase
type n to create new partiton ( create wih same partiton number - very
iportant, starting cylinder should be same ( VERY IMPORTANT) as before mostly
default value, and last cylinder will be new value usualy deafult.)
Type N to keep the same partion file system (eg: Linux file system) or Y to
select a new file system.
Type p again to list partitions and check the size change is reflected
Make sure everything is correct and then type w, it will write changes to disk
- No turning back from here,
(type q to exit from fdisk if not already)
4.
partprobe -s ( reprobe all the partitions)
5. pvresize
/dev/sda4
6. Now go
to vm console or rdp open partitioner
select the logical volume you want to expand and give the new size and finish
this can be done from CLI but easier if can access the console :)
Primary partition extend:
Extend the volume disc and run the below command
xfs_growfs -d /hana
> rescan-scsi-bus.sh -a
