Resizing a partition
A partition can be resized to a higher or lower value.
This operation is supported on the following types of NetBackup Virtual Appliance:
Combined master and media server for remote offices and branch offices (ROBO)
Media server for data centers (DC)
Master server
Review the following points before you resize a storage partition:
The AdvancedDisk, Configuration, MSDP, MSDP Catalog, and the NetBackup Catalog partitions can be resized to a higher or a lower value. To resize, enter values in increments of 1 GB.
Note:
If you resize the MSDP storage partition to a greater amount, you may also need to resize the MSDP Catalog. If you need to resize the Catalog, the MSDP resize fails with an error message that lists the sizing requirement.
Each partition has a minimum and maximum supported size. Ensure that you resize a partition within these values.
Note:
Resizing a partition may take a significant amount of time depending on the configuration of the system and how much data is present. In some instances, the operation may appear to hang while running. Allow the operation time to fully complete.
The following procedure describes how to resize partitions.
To resize a storage partition from the NetBackup Virtual Appliance Shell Menu
- Log on to the NetBackup Virtual Appliance Shell Menu.
- From the Main > Manage > Storage view, type the following command:
Resize <PartitionType> Size Unit
PartitionType refers to the name of the partition like AdvancedDisk, MSDP, etc.
Size refers to the size to which you want to resize the partition.
Unit refers to the unit for resizing the partition in (GB/TB/PB).
