add disk
1 TopicBIG-IQ :: Add Hard Disk to VE
Ok, my Google-fu is lacking today. More coffee needed perhaps. But for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to add another disk (virtual hard drive) to my BIG-IQ VE. I don't want to expand the current disk... which is what I am finding all of the articles pertain to (and which I already know how to do). My desire is to add another HD (via HD2) to the VE. Any ideas on how to accomplish this? root@(big-iq)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) show sys hardware Sys::Hardware Chassis Information Chassis Name Chassis Type Maximum MAC Count 1 Registration Key - Hardware Version Information Name HD1 Type physical-disk Model Virtual disk Parameters -- -- Manufacturer VMware SerialNumber VMware-sda Size 95.00G Firmware Version 1.0 Media Type HDD Name HD2 Type physical-disk Model Virtual disk Parameters -- -- Manufacturer VMware SerialNumber VMware-sdb Size 95.00G Firmware Version 1.0 Media Type HDD It seems that the VE can see the drive... but I can't install to it: root@(big-iq)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) install sys software image BIG-IQ-6.1.0-0.0.1224.iso create-volume volume HD2.1 root@(big-iq)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) root@(big-iq)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) show sys software status ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sys::Software Status Volume Product Version Build Active Status ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HD1.1 BIG-IQ 6.0.0 0.0.1674 yes complete HD2.1 BIG-IQ 6.1.0 0.0.1224 no failed (Can't find requested disk HD2.) I assume I am missing a step here. Thanks in advance! -R869Views0likes1Comment
