Resizing ovirt-engine disk

Hi all, We have a running ovirt installation on a SAN backend (installed in 4.0 via appliance, then updated to 4.1 and now in 4.2). At installation time we choose (or didn't change) the disk size and this one is about 10GB: fdisk -l /dev/vda Disk /dev/vda: 10.7 GB, 10737418240 bytes, 20971520 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk label type: dos Disk identifier: 0x000686fc Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/vda1 * 2048 20971519 10484736 83 Linux Can we grow the ovirt-engine disk like any other managed VM ? And if not, how can we grow the ovirt-engine disk out of standard installation procedure ? Have a nice day. Cheers. Baptiste.

Hi,
Can we grow the ovirt-engine disk like any other managed VM ?
I assume you mean hosted engine. No, unfortunately this is not possible right now. Today I proposed a patch [1] which should fix it.
And if not, how can we grow the ovirt-engine disk out of standard installation procedure ?
it's possible, but includes calling vdsm client directly and editing the database, so I'd recommend to avoid it. Cheers Vojta [1] https://gerrit.ovirt.org/94855

Hi Vojta, Thank you for your fast response. Do you know if this patch will be backported in 4.2 or it will land only in the next major release ? Have a nice day. Cheers. ----- Le 11 Oct 18, à 16:48, Vojtech Juranek vjuranek@redhat.com a écrit :

Unfortunately I don't know (even don't know if the patch will be accepted:-). I'm very new to oVirt so don't know yet what the rules for backporting are etc. Hopefully someone else on the list can answer it. Cheers Vojta
