Considerations on PAM 3.x disk size expansion

Products

• CA Privileged Access Manager (PAM)

Issue/Introduction

The PAM 3.x OVA template is provisioned with 80GB of hard disk space.
Can the appliance virtual disk be enlarged at the moment of importing the PAM 3.x OVA template into a Virtualizing System?

Environment

Product: Privileged Access Manager
Version: 3.x

Resolution

The partition is fixed and cannot be changed when the OVA file is imported.

Additional Information

The partitions in the PAM appliances are digitally signed and its size is used to build the appliance's systemID.
So, if its size could be modified, the result will probably be a non recognized partition.
