Guide to Increase Volume Size

There are times where an appliance is created and the initial disk space provided is not sufficient and you need to grow or enlarge the volume.

You must branch the appliance before these steps can be executed. If you have already done this, begin on step 5.

1. Save the app if recent updates have been made on the canvas.
2. Stop the app either by the Grid - Applications GUI or through the terminal = app stop <appname>
3. Branch the appliance - right click on the appliance to modify displayed on the Canvas and select 'Branch Class' - this will separate the appliance from the rest of the application so that it can be modified individually. Wait for a notification that this has completed 100% successfully.
4. Start the app either by the Grid - Applications GUI or through the terminal = app start <appname>

   After you have branched the appliance follow the steps below.

5. stop comp <appname>:<volname> - Stop the component - No need to stop the entire app

   example: stop comp testApp:main.WEB1

6. vol list --all <appname> - To verify the component is available and not in use.
7. vol resize <appname>:<volname including .boot or .usr> size=<total size volume should be>

   example: vol resize testApp:main.WEB1.boot size=4G

8. vol list --all <appname> - To verify the volume has been resized
9. start comp <appname>:<volname>

   example: start comp testApp:main.WEB1

10. ls OR comp list - to verify the component or appliance is running.
