How do I increase the disk size on my VMware hosted Statseeker?
To increase the disk size on a VMware hosted Statseeker:
- Shutdown Statseeker from either:
As "admin" go to Administration GUI > Statseeker Administration section > OS Configuration page > Edit mode (blue link - top right) then click the "Shutdown" button.
or
As Statseeker on the command line run the ssadmin tool (enter root password) then go to "8. Operating System" then "3. Shutdown server". - Then go to the VM configuration and check that Statseeker is shutdown and edit the settings to increase the disk size.
- Then restart the Statseeker host from the VM management screen.
When the Statseeker host has restarted the new disk size should "automatically" be recognised and available.
This can be checked by logging on to the command line and using "df -h".
e.g.
statseeker$ df -h
