SSB can only use fixed disk space assigned to the virtual host. If you must increase the size of the virtual disk, complete the following steps.

Prerequisites:

The following prerequisites are essential for the resize procedure to work:

  • The machine that SSB is running on has to be a virtual machine. This procedure will not work on a physical machine.

  • The version running on the virtual machine must be a newly installed SSB version 4.9 or later. This procedure will not work in case of an SSB that was upgraded from an earlier version.

  • No software RAID.

To increase the size of the virtual disk

  1. To ensure that no data is lost in case of an error, create a full system backup (configuration and data backup). For detailed instructions, see Data and configuration backups.

  2. Power down the virtual machine.

  3. Increase the storage size.

  4. Restart SSB.
