Increasing Size of BitrixVA LVM-Partition

&lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;warning&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Attention!&lt;/b&gt; For operations, described in this lesson, *nix-systems administration knowledge is required. Prior to starting of operations, it is recommended to perform a full &lt;b&gt;«Bitrix Virtual Appliance»&lt;/b&gt; backup.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;warning&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Attention!&lt;/b&gt; Logic Volume Manager &lt;b&gt;LVM2&lt;/b&gt; is installed by default in CentOS 7 during the automatic partitioning of the disk during the system installation phase (in case if BitrixEnv is installed via bitrix_env.sh script on the CentOS 7). In such case, the size change for LVM-partition will differ from previous methods. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Scenario: the size of system disk was increased from 20GB to 100GB, as was &lt;a href=&quot;/support/training/course/index.php?COURSE_ID=113&LESSON_ID=9647&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;done previously&lt;/a&gt; in VMWare Player.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Then, the actions to change LVM-partition size will be the following:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ol&gt; &lt;li&gt;Check, what devices/partitions are available at the moment via the command: &lt;pre class=&quot;syntax&quot;&gt;fdisk -l&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/images/bitrixvm/vmbitrix7/other_options/vm_disk_increase1_en.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Verify, that the space did not increase automatically via the command: &lt;pre class=&quot;syntax&quot;&gt;df -h&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/images/bitrixvm/vmbitrix7/other_options/vm_disk_increase2_en.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Volume group name and the name volume are also visible (we will have different ones): &lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;cl&lt;/b&gt; - volume group name;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;root&lt;/b&gt; - volume name.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Create a new &lt;b&gt;sda3&lt;/b&gt; partition - partition type: &lt;b&gt;Linux LVM&lt;/b&gt; (code type &lt;b&gt;8e&lt;/b&gt;) on the unpartitioned space. To do that, start working with the &lt;b&gt;sda&lt;/b&gt; device via the command: &lt;pre class=&quot;syntax&quot;&gt;fdisk /dev/sda&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Next, create a new partition via the &lt;b&gt;n&lt;/b&gt; command: &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;primary (primary partition) - &lt;b&gt;p&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;code&gt;Partition number (1-3, default 3): 3&lt;/code&gt; command (because we had 2 logical partitions sda1 and sda2 - p.1);&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt; in this case, first and last sectors are selected by default - this way, partition will be created by using all available free space on disk;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;indicate partition type - &lt;b&gt;t&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;code&gt;Partition number (1-3, default 3): 3&lt;/code&gt; command;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;enter partition code type, corresponding Linux LVM - &lt;code&gt;8e&lt;/code&gt;;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;see the partition table - enter &lt;b&gt;p&lt;/b&gt; command and make sure, that all is correct;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Partition &lt;b&gt;sda3&lt;/b&gt; is created. To save the updated partition table and to exit from fdisk - &lt;b&gt;w&lt;/b&gt; command. &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/images/bitrixvm/vmbitrix7/other_options/vm_disk_increase3_en.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;For the system to load the new partition table, reload the Virtual Appliance: &lt;pre class=&quot;syntax&quot;&gt;reboot&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;After the reset, it is necessary to create a &lt;b&gt;sda3&lt;/b&gt; physical volume: &lt;pre class=&quot;syntax&quot;&gt;pvcreate /dev/sda3&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Next, expand the volume group to a new space, using the &lt;b&gt;cl&lt;/b&gt; volume group name (which we have memorized previously in p.2): &lt;pre class=&quot;syntax&quot;&gt;vgextend /dev/cl /dev/sda3&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt; Now, expand the logical volume, by using the &lt;b&gt;root&lt;/b&gt; volume name (hich we have memorized previously in p.2): &lt;pre class=&quot;syntax&quot;&gt;lvextend -l+100%FREE /dev/cl/root&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Scan disks for the for the availability of volume groups and activate all volume groups that are found: &lt;pre class=&quot;syntax&quot;&gt; vgscan vgchange -ay &lt;/pre&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/images/bitrixvm/vmbitrix7/other_options/vm_disk_increase4_sm.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Find the type of file system: &lt;pre class=&quot;syntax&quot;&gt;file -s /dev/sda1&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/images/bitrixvm/vmbitrix7/other_options/vm_disk_increase5_sm.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;See, that file system is &lt;b&gt;XFS&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;And finally, expand XFS file system (may require time): &lt;pre class=&quot;syntax&quot;&gt;xfs_growfs /dev/cl/root&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/images/bitrixvm/vmbitrix7/other_options/vm_disk_increase6_sm.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;hint&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Note:&lt;/b&gt; If the file system is not &lt;b&gt;XFS&lt;/b&gt;, but, for example, id &lt;b&gt;ext4&lt;/b&gt; or &lt;b&gt;reiserfs&lt;/b&gt;, then the commands will be the following (with account of cl - to group name and root - volume name from p.2): &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;resize2fs /dev/cl/root&lt;/code&gt; - for &lt;b&gt;ext4&lt;/b&gt;; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;resize_reiserfs /dev/cl/root&lt;/code&gt; - for &lt;b&gt;reiserfs&lt;/b&gt;; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Check the final result: &lt;pre class=&quot;syntax&quot;&gt;df -h&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/images/bitrixvm/vmbitrix7/other_options/vm_disk_increase7_en.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/ol&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
