Warning: Once you add a disk to the datastore and expand storage, that disk is added to a logical volume. The newly added disk and any existing disks are then treated as one disk by the system. You cannot remove the disk once it has been added. Removing a disk after expanding storage results in data loss and corruption. |
1 Add a disk to the datastore used by the Unitrends Enterprise Backup VM, as described above.
2 In the Setup Wizard system storage step, click Expand Storage.
Note: To use the Storage subsystem instead, see To expand a backup device.
• The system expands storage on the default device to include the disk you created on the datastore. The default device is D2DBackups unless you’ve configured a different one.
• When storage expansion is complete, the current size of the storage pool is updated to reflect the expansion. 95% of the disk you added is allocated for backup/replication storage. 5% of the expanded storage, up to 2GB, is allocated for swap space.
3 When the Storage expansion is complete message displays, click Next to continue with the Setup Wizard.
