Adding virtual disks

Edit online

You can add new virtual disks (hard disks) to your IBM Storage® Protect Plus virtual appliance by using vCenter.

When you deploy the IBM Storage Protect Plus virtual appliance, you can deploy all virtual disks to one datastore that you specify at the time of deployment. You can add a disk within the virtual appliance and configure it as a Logical Volume Manager (LVM). You can then mount the new disk as a new volume or attach the new disk to the existing volumes within the virtual appliance.
Important: Do not add space or extend an existing volume for the IBM Storage Protect Plus virtual appliance.

You can review the disk partitions by using the fdisk -l command. You can review the physical volumes and the volume groups on the IBM Storage Protect Plus virtual appliance by using the pvdisplay and vgdisplay commands.
