Problem Description

Need to add additional Storage on CAS (CVK) 

I have a single host and have installed CAS CVM on it(E0730P06). OS has been installed on one logical partition while the server has other logical volumes available. We need to utilize these local volumes on this host. I have explored it but did not have any good luck on this. Can you please help us on this regard. I am onsite and remote session can be provided. Reference screenshot is attached here for your reference.


Process Analysis

The local storage pool needs to manually execute the mount command in the background, and write the mount information in the fstab file to ensure that the node can be mounted normally after restarting.

Solution

Please follow this guide:

 

  1. check the new disk name


2. Execute mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdx   Format the sdx disk to ext4 format


3. Execute  mkdir /vms/sdx    Add a directory named sdx to the VMS directory as the mount point for the new hard disk.


4. Execute mount /dev/sdx /vms/sdx   After the hard disk is mounted to the directory (only the hard disk can be identified in this directory), the disk can be used normally. Writing data to the/vms/sdx directory is actually saved on disk sdx.


5. Run the blkid /dev/sdx command to check the UUID of the new disk


6. Enter vi /etc/fstab and enter the fstab file. In this file, each file system is described by a single line, with fields separated by Spaces or tabs on each line, and the lines in the file starting with # are comments. The ordering of the records in the Fstab file is important. Because programs like FSCK, mount, or umount do their work in this order.


7. Execute mount a


 

Then you can add a new pool on cas.
