Zabbix Server VM - Add a Hard Drive

[stevefxp]

Hello all,

I have my Zabbix server as a vm, using 32 gig of hard drive space. I would like to add a hard drive, to move the MySQL onto this hard drive? Has anyone done this, and if yes whats the best way to get this done?

Thanks,
Steve

Its more of a Linux(?) question, than Zabbix...

Hi ,

!st you need to add the HDD to your VM then restart your VM,

After that depending of your structure ican give you can example :
df -h lookup what is writtin after /dev/ and replace the words from my example :
fdisk -l to see if you see you added HDD, lets say for that example that it added sdb and your main hdd ison sda.

start fdisk /dev/sdb
u (don't mind the depricated warning)

n

p

(leave all the questions to default answer)

w

REBOOT

pvcreate /dev/sdb1

vgextend {{VAR1}} /dev/sdb1

lvextend -l 100%FREE /dev/mapper/{{VAR2}}

resize2fs /dev/mapper/{{VAR2}}


VAR1 = run the command pvdisplay and note the name in front of VG Name :
VAR2 = look at the path/name when you do an df -h
example : /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv

if it is not clear , look up how to add an second HDD to ubuntu in google maybe some can explain it better then me !
