This page explains the process of configuring disks and volume configuration after a Tranzman Appliance installation.
 
 
The initial configuration for OS disk utilises the smaller disk partition and the larger partition (default 500GB) is used for data staging during Transition to store/retrieve transient data( temporary staging of converted images).

Configuring Disks & Volumes After Tranzman Appliance Installation

After installing the Tranzman Appliance, disk and volume configuration is required.
The OS disk uses the smaller partition, while the larger partition (default 500GB) is used for data staging during migration.
This staging area temporarily stores converted images and transient data.

Volume Configuration Steps

  1. On the Volumes page, the disk added for staging (e.g., sdb) will be listed.
    Select the disk and click Configure.

  2. A new window will appear, allowing you to set the size of each partition.
    In most cases, the default values are recommended.
    After making changes, click Commit.

  3. The appliance will configure the disk with the selected partition sizes and redirect you to the Network Configuration page.
    Continue with network setup as prompted.

🛈 Default partition sizes are suitable for most environments. Adjust only if specific requirements exist.
