| − | Add 5 extra Hard Disks to the VA under the VMWare host. For recomended sizes please refer to '''Step 14''' on section [[Install VA]].

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 used for trasient data( temporary staging of converted images).
After first Committ on "Personality" , the appliance web should redirect you to "Volumes" page which lists 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".
Note :- After the Committ the page will refresh itself and redirect you to the "Network" page.
