Virtual TapeServer 8.4 Configuration Guide

Reviewing the vault layout
You must use a Linux partition editor, such as fdisk, parted, druid, or the HP Array Configuration
Utility, to view the current configuration. (The HP Array Configuration Utility is available as part of
HP SmartStart, but using HP SmartStart requires that you reboot VTS.) The following steps use
parted to view the current partition layout:
1. Log in to the VTS server as the root user.
2. Use the df command to view the current disk utilization:
df -H
Here is an example of the output. The bolded lines indicate partitions that are eligible for
configuration:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/cciss/c0d0p2 19G 6.7G 12G 38% /
/dev/cciss/c0d0p4 112G 338M 106G 1% /VAULT00
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1 99M 24M 70M 26% /boot
tmpfs 502M 0 502M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/cciss/c0d1p1 3.3T 535G 2.6T 17% /VAULT01
3. Use parted to display the current partition layout for all disks.
parted /dev/cciss/c0d1p1 print
Here is an example of the output:
Model: Unknown (unknown)
Disk /dev/cciss/c0d0p1: 124GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: loop
Number Start End Size File system Flags

Changing vault storage
Before changing the vault configuration, consider the following recommendations:
l Do not resize any vault on the operating system partition(s) (c0d0p1, c0d0p2).
l The minimum partition size is 1TB.
l The maximum partition size is 5TB, which is determined by the amount of memory required to
check a file system created on the partition. Running a file system check (fsck) requires
