Error message - "com.vmware.vrealize.lcm.drivers.commonplugin.exceptions.VerticalScaleUpException: Vertical scale up failed for the nodes  [<node1-IP>, <node2-IP>, <node3-IP] at com.vmware.vrealize.lcm.drivers.commonplugin.task.VerticalScaleUpStatusCheckTask.execute(VerticalScaleUpStatusCheckTask.java:69) at com.vmware.vrealize.lcm.automata.core.TaskThread.run(TaskThread.java:62) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)"

Following event can be seen in /var/log/vrlcm/vmware_vrlcm.log

25-07-01T02:49:47.187Z INFO vrlcm[1232] [scheduling-1] [c.v.v.l.r.c.p.ProductVerticalScaleUpPlanner] -- Since parted is not installed in vIDM versions 3.3.3 and above, we’ll proceed with adding 2 disks, +1 for /db (with 70% capacity) and 1 for /opt (with 30% capacity)

 

Environment

VMware Identity Manager 3.3.x

Cause

The scale-up operation fails due to the absence of the parted partition manager package on the vIDM nodes.

 

Resolution

For VMware Identity Manager version 3.3.3 or later, an internet connection is required to perform the vertical scale-up operation. In offline environments, the parted package must be manually installed from packages.vmware.com to enable the scale-up process.

 If you need to scale-up vIDM without access to the internet, install the parted partition manager manually following these steps:

1. Download the parted package from packages.vmware.com.
2. Transfer this to each vIDM node
3. Install the package on the system with the following command:
   • rpm -i parted-3.2-7.ph3.x86_64.rpm
4. Perform the scale-up of your IDM nodes
