Resizing Aria Automation/Orchestrator appliance logs disk (/dev/sdc) is not reflected in the OS

Products

• VCF Operations/Automation (formerly VMware Aria Suite)

Issue/Introduction

After increasing the size of the logs disk (/dev/sdc) of a Aria Automation/Orchestrator Appliance, and running "vracli disk-mgr resize", the Operating System doesn't show the new space.

• Running "vracli disk-mgr" or "df" commands still displays the old overall size.
• In the "/var/log/disk_resize.log" file, you see entries similar to:
  • "ERROR: Error resizing file system"
  • "Extending logical volume services-logs... New size (5119 extents) matches existing size (5119 extents)"
  • "ERROR: Error resizing logical volume."

Environment

VMware Aria  Automation 8.x
VMware Aria Orchestrator 8.x

Cause

This is caused by an invalid logical volume name used while resizing the file system.

Resolution

1. SSH to the appliance.
2. Run the command: "vracli disk-mgr resize".

NOTE: The resize procedure will start in up to a minute. Progress could be monitored in the /var/log/disk_resize.log. It is expected to fail while resizing file system for logs disk.

     3.Run the below command to resize the "/dev/sdc" partition

/usr/sbin/resize2fs /dev/mapper/logs_vg-log 

     4. To see if the new disk space is visible, run the command:

vracli disk-mgr
