Updating the Engineering Lifecycle Management application storage size by using Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform web console

This is an optional configuration for the Engineering Lifecycle Management instance creation.
The Engineering Lifecycle Management applications get the storage assigned according to the deployment size by default. You can update the storage size of an existing Engineering Lifecycle Management instance by using the Web console method.

About this task

Review the following inputs before you update the storage size of the Engineering Lifecycle Management applications. For more information about the default deployment sizes, see Engineering Lifecycle Management instance deployment sizes.

Your cluster must be enabled for volume expansion. The storage class that provisions Persistent Volume Claim (PVC) must support the resize.
The storage expansion depends on how much storage is available. If sufficient storage is not available, the Engineering Lifecycle Management reconciliation might fail.
For more information about the allowed sizes and format of storage quantity that is used in the storage property, see Resource quantities.
The storage property of the Engineering Lifecycle Management application is an optional parameter. You can add, update, or delete the storage property according to your requirement. When you provide the input for storage property, it overrides the default size set for the application. If you delete the storage property that is set previously, the default size according to the deployment size is assigned.

Procedure

Complete the following steps to update the storage property of the Engineering Lifecycle Management application.

Log in to the Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform web console.
Click Operators > Installed Operators and select the Engineering Lifecycle Management operator.
Click the ELM tab and select the Engineering Lifecycle Management instance.
On the YAML tab, add the following storage property that you want for the Engineering Lifecycle Management application and click Save. See example of ELM instance YAML file.
```
spec:
  applications:
    <app\_name>:
      storage: <storage>
```
The updated storage size is allocated to the Engineering Lifecycle Management application pod after the successful reconciliation of the Engineering Lifecycle Management instance.
To verify the updated storage size of the Engineering Lifecycle Management application, complete the following steps.
1. Click Storage > Persistent Volume Claims.
  The PVC details are shown in a table on the Persistent Volume Claims page.
2. Verify that the updated storage size is shown in the Capacity field for the Engineering Lifecycle Management application.
