[Users] online storage domain resize

[Gadi Ickowicz]

Hi,

If you want to enlarge an existing storage domain the easiest way is to extend the storage domain. You can edit the domain and add another LUN to be a part of that domain and oVirt will take care of extending the domain - the only thing you need is another LUN to use.

Thanks,
Gadi Ickowicz

Subject: [Users] online storage domain resize

Hello,

I'm just curious and I didn't try it already. I'm using FC storage (Dell 
MD3620f) with some logical disks on it. I should be able online increase 
virtual disk capacity using storage management (I have some free 
capacity on disk group).

Is there any way to on-line extend volume group used for vm's images 
storage and don't break anything?


I just found this hint by Eduardo from list

1. Shutdown all VMs
2. Manually connect iscsi on the SPM host
3. Run pvresize on the LUN
4. Put the domain in maintenance
5. Activate the domains

Is it possible to do this on-line without shutting down all vms? If not, 
it could be really nice feature for oncoming releases.


Thanks in advance

Jiri
