Storage Management

When you install NetMRI on your VM, by default about 80 Gb of storage is allocated to and distributed among a few virtual disk volumes. Each volume corresponds to a specific NetMRI component. You can extend the NetMRI storage per volume to optimize performance. For example, you may want to extend low-space volumes, use different performance storage for different volumes, protect NetMRI critical services by dedicating volumes specifically to them, and so on.

The disk partitions include:

Application Storage
Backup Storage
Database Storage
Log Storage
OS Storage
Temporary Storage
Unused Storage

To find this list with size and free space per partition, go to the Settings icon > Database Settings > Storage Management.

To extend the NetMRI storage, run the provisiondisk command in the administrative shell. For information, see Shell Commands.

Caution

You cannot undo the storage extension.

Warning

Do not detach hard disks that you already attached and added to the NetMRI storage. This may result in a broken NetMRI appliance.
