About this task

InfiniMetrics is installed with a disk space of 30GB. As Infinimetrics gathers more InfiniBox data and the amount of stored data accumulates, there may be a need for more disk space. 

Past InfiniMetrics versions

• Earlier versions of InfiniMetrics are no longer supported. Please upgrade InfiniMetrics to the latest release.

Prerequisites

• An up and running Infinimetrics appliance
• Access rights to the virtual machine that hosts Infinimetrics

Instructions

1. On the console, stop services running on the virtual machine:

   service cron stop
   manage infinimetrics_services stop
   service postgresql stop
   service clickhouse-server stop

2. On the vCenter, expand the disk space of the InfiniMetrics virtual machine.

3. On the console, run the following command: 

   root@localhost:~# infinimetrics expand-disk

   The command's output is: 

   INFO: 2015-11-12 14:11:47,439 - found device holding postgres database: /dev/sda6
   INFO: 2015-11-12 14:11:47,485 - found extended partition /dev/sda2, going to resize it first
