Increasing code disk size for appliances

The code disk for new Management appliances is larger for IBM® API Connect Version 5.0 than for IBM API Management Version 3.0 and IBM API Management Version 4.0. If you have an existing Management appliance that you want to upgrade to IBM API Connect Version 5.0, you can increase the code disk size for an appliance.

About this task

Increasing the size of the code disk is different to increasing the size of the data disk. For more information on increasing the size of your data disk, see Installing the Management virtual server.

Procedure

  1. Backup any configurations that you have on your appliance by running the following config save apiconfig command. For more information on running the config save apiconfig command, see Configuration commands.
  2. Upgrade the appliance to a version of API Connect that supports a larger disk size. For more information on upgrading your version of IBM API Management Version 4.0 or IBM API Connect Version 5.0, see Upgrading your API Connect cloud.
  3. In your virtual machine software, remove any snapshots from your appliance.
    Note: Virtual machine software does not allow you to modify the disk size of an appliance if it contains snapshots.
  4. Select the option to edit the settings of your appliance, identify the setting governs the size of the disk, and increase the code disk size to 10GB.
  5. Save your changes and reboot your appliance.
