  • 1.  Imperva DAM Virtual Disk Space allocation

    Posted 04-12-2023 02:45

    Hi Team,

    I have configured MX and GW with default configuration, but now I want to increase disk space. Help us provide detailed instructions to configure a new storage space for MX and GW.

    Also let us know how many times we can add new storage space to our VM environment.

    Hi,

    Run the following commands after adding a new vdisk:

    impctl server stop
    impctl platform storage allocate-new-vdisks
    impctl server start

    Hi Sarversh,

    Thank you for your reply.

    I have reviewed these steps in the DAM VMWare Installation Guide before submitting a request to the community.

    My question and question regarding these steps is how many times can I do these steps

    The VM team said they are provisioning 40% disk capacity now and will provision the remaining disk requirements later. Can the suggested steps be done multiple times or only once?
    Besides allocating this new disk space which is automatically used by DAM MX and GW, do I need to take any further steps to reallocate disk space?

    If yes, please provide detail steps.



    Regards,

    Hi,

    Yes you can keep adding disk as and when you need it.

    Basically the mount point is a volume group and follows the same logic and principles of volume group you see on linux os.

    So when you add a disk you are simply adding a new physical volume to the existing volume group which is already mounted (/var/ or /data)

    Regards,
