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.

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).

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

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.

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

<nowiki>configure <log> <data> <db> <swap> <store>
 
 
Configure disks
 
 
  log    log device (sdb sdc etc)
 
  data    data device (sdb sdc etc)
 
  db      database device (sdb sdc etc)
 
  swap    swap device (sdb sdc etc)
 
  store  datastore device (sdb sdc etc)</nowiki>
 
|}
 
 
So an example of the command would be;
 
{| class="wikitable" style="padding-left: auto; color:#FFFFFF; background-color: black; width: 600px; FONT-FAMILY:monospace,monospace; LINE-HEIGHT:15px; white-space: pre-wrap;

> 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.
 
{| class="wikitable" style="padding-left: auto; color:#FFFFFF; background-color: black; width: 600px; FONT-FAMILY:monospace,monospace; LINE-HEIGHT:15px; white-space: pre-wrap;

'''Note:'''The '''SWAP''' partition will show up as '''UNKNOWN''' but this is perfectly fine.
 
 
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 used for trasient data( temporary staging of converted images).

Step 1

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".
