This page explains the process of configuring disks and volume configuration after a Tranzman Appliance installation.
  
After installation, the appliance will most likely only have one disk '''"sda"''' so we need to add more disks / volumes as stated in the '''"Planning and Sizing"''' section. This section assumes that a Tranzman Virtual Appliance is being used.

===Step 1===
 
Add 5 extra Hard Disks to the VA under the VMWare host. For recomended sizes please refer to '''Step 14''' on section [[Install VA]].
 
 
===Step 2===
 
Make sure that the system can see the new disks.

Invoke the command '''"configure ?"''' to show a description of the volumes the need to be created.

The <b>Volumes</b> page should list the disk added for the staging. e.g. sdb in this case.
{| class="wikitable" style="padding-left: auto; color:#FFFFFF; background-color: black; width: 600px; FONT-FAMILY:monospace,monospace; LINE-HEIGHT:15px; white-space: pre-wrap;

Select the disk with <b>Overwrite existing data on disks</b> and click on <b>Commit</b>.

> configure sdd sdb sde sdc sdf

===Step 4===

Once the previous step has completed successfully, use '''"show-all-disks"''' once again to display the final formatting.

'''Note:'''The '''SWAP''' partition will show up as '''UNKNOWN''' but this is perfectly fine.

The Committ should redirect you to the <b>Network</b> page for Network Configuration.  
  
Use '''"return"''' to go back one menu on the Appliance.

This page explains the process of configuring disks and volume configuration after a Tranzman Appliance installation.


After installation of OS on to the boot disk(local/SAN) now its time to partition the disk added for transient data( temporary staging of converted images).


The Volumes page should list the disk added for the staging. e.g. sdb in this case. Select the disk with Overwrite existing data on disks and click on Commit.

The Committ should redirect you to the Network page for Network Configuration.
