  • Hello Zen, 

     

    I usually following these steps to increase size of my VM BIG IQ

     

    Login to the BIGIQ CLI .

    1. To check the current size of the directories run the below command .
    —> tmsh show sys disk directory

    2. To check how much disk space is available on the BIG-IQ VE system run the below command .
    —> pvs

    3. To resize the /shared size run the below command .
    —> tmsh modify sys disk directory /shared new-size <size in kilobytes>

    NOTE:- the size should be mentioned in KB and not in GB

    4. Once completed we need to reboot the system , run the below command .
    —> reboot

    Once if the device gets rebooted please run the below command to check if the size is increased .

    —> df -h
