VIDM upgrade to 3.3.7
It turns out there are some issues with the update.
You need to have at least 10GB of space in / (/dev/sda4). If you have a fresh install or a test one, this should be fine. However, LCM doesn’t check this correctly, and you will get an LCMUPGRADEVIDM71205 error.
What needs to be done: extend sda4
Follow these steps:
make a backup (not a snapshot) of your vIDM.
make sure you can SSH into the vIDM VM. You use sshuser and then sudo su - into root
Delete all snapshots (else you won’t be able to extend the disk)
Go into vCenter and extend the first disk (60GB) to 70GB
ssh into vIDM
sudo su - into root
run the command echo 1 > /sys/class/block/sda/device/rescan
fdisk -l /dev/sda should now show the new size
run cfdisk /dev/sda
select with [up]/[down] the sda4 partition
select with [right]/[left] resize
enter the new size 22G
select with [right]/[left] write and answer yes
select with [right]/[left] quite
now run resize2fs /dev/sda4 to expand the partitions file system
use df -h to check free space
That should do the trick.
