Increase the size of the OS disk on both VSAs and Failover Managers
Due to changes in the size of the VMware tools that get installed during this software upgrade, you
must increase the size of the OS disk before upgrading the VSA and the Failover Manager. Additional
space requirements are necessary for future software releases, as well. Therefore, we recommend
increasing the size of the OS disk to accommodate both requirements at this time.
NOTE: These instructions apply to VMware ESX Server. Other VMware products have similar
instructions for extending a virtual disk. Please consult the appropriate VMware documentation for
the product you are using
To increase the OS disk size on the VSA:
1. Using the CMC, power off the VSA.
2. Open the VI Client and select VSA -> Edit Settings -> Hardware.
3. Select Hard disk 1 (verify that the Virtual Device Node is SCSI (0:0)).
4. Under Disk provisioning, changed the provisioned size to 8 GB.
5. Click OK.
6. Repeat these steps for Hard disk 2 (verify the Virtual Device Node is SCSI (0:1))
7. Using the VI Client, power on the VSA.
8. Find the VSA in the CMC and apply the 8.5 upgrade.
