Micro Focus Retain: (Index) Out of disk space warning

nlou

Your current index size is 121.2 GB and your available disk space is 122.25 GB for the /var/opt/beginfinite/retain/index path.

We have a Retain virtual server.  I know how to increase the virtual server hard drive but what do I need to do to increase the disk?

How do I check what is the current disk size, so that I can increase the correct HDD.  From what I can see, we currently have 3 HDD.

    Your Retain index directory is located at /var/opt/beginfinite/retain/index/
    We hope that the person that installed Retain allocated a separate disk for Retain.
    Run this command to find out how your Linux OS disks were allocated:
    df -Th
    Did that person make any part of the above path, mount to a separate disk than what was used for the Linux OS root partition at / ?
    Like    Filesystem: /dev/sdb1 , Mounted on: /var
    Here is SuSE's SLES 12 chapter on resizing filesystems:

    This is the filesystem that I want to increase /dev/mapper/beginfinite-opt  xfs  750G 564G 187G 76% /var/opt

    What Is the command?  Is it ...

    sudo xfs_growfs -d /dev/mapper/beginfinite-opt

    Reading the SuSE section titled "2.4 Changing the Size of an XFS File System" seems to use the /var/opt (Mounted on) instead of the /dev/... (Filesystem) that you are suggesting.  Maybe the command should be:
    sudo xfs_growfs -d /var/opt

    If I take a snapshot before I increase the drive, can I revert it back to that snapshot if there is any issues or will that cause issues on retain?

    Nancy - do you have the databases and indexes on the same server?  If so, then this won't be an issue.  Bring Retain down, take a snapshot of the entire system before the expand.  If the dbs and indexes are not part of the snapshot, then make sure to disable archiving and deletion jobs before the expand.  The less change to the system before or after, the better it will be.  Once you do the expand you can verify that all is well with the system and if so, re-enable archiving and deletion jobs.  -  Pam
