I have created a disk library in our dev environment which is using it’s own separate volume.
it will be used for ddb backups. If I want to increase the capacity do I have to add a new volume or can I just resize the underlying volume in linux ?
increasing the size of a linux based disk library
I have received advice from commvault support that I can stop services on the Linux mediagent and resize the underlying volume, then restart services . However I haven’t tried this. As it has deduplicated storage I am just going to follow the documentation and add a large volume to a new volume group. Then browse to that volume under add storage , and that will increase the capacity.
yesterday, I recreated the disk library with a larger volume.but that broke the duplication engine.i had a snapshot so I restored the vm. It’s a development system but I don’t want to break it again.
it should be easier on the other disk library which is using a volume on the windows based mediagent , and which is not using deduplication.
I tried resizing the disk yesterday and I didn’t see a way for the extra space to be detected.
i have today received advice that I can stop commvault services on the mediaagent before resizing then start the services again
Hi
If resizining volume in unix does not affect existing data then we can, else recomended to add a new volume.
