Use this tool to create or edit partitions on the Tranzman Appliance.

Step 1

Navigate through the SRL Support Menu to launch parted.

> srl_support > parted /dev/sdb Please enter One time passcode: XXXXX GNU Parted 2.1 Using /dev/sdb Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands.

Step 2

Set the label to GPT for disks bigger than 2TB.

> parted /dev/sdb mklabel gpt

Note.png Note: Make sure to align partitions correctly or performance will be very poor. If a partition needs to be modified, the system will produce a warning message similar to the one below.

Warning: The resulting partition is not properly aligned for best performance. Ignore/Cancel?

Step 3

Create the first partition starting from 2048KB, this will be the logs (10% of database) area.

> parted mkpart primary 2048KiB 10GiB

Step 4

Create the next partitions using the last number from the previous partition as the starting point. This will be the swap partition. i.e. 2 x Memory on the machine.

> parted mkpart primary 10GiB 26GiB

Step 5

Create a database area which includes 2 x combined number of records for all environments (images, media workloads, etc * 512k).

> parted mkpart primary 26GiB 126GiB

Step 6

Now create the data area (2.5 x the combined size of the origin catalogs).

> parted mkpart primary 126GiB 512GiB

Step 7

Lastly create the datastore area (2GB for same vendor migrations). For cross vendor, this will need to be the largest of either;

  • 5 x size of the largest image in the catalog
  • 2.5 x size of uncompressed media x number of drives to be used

> parted mkpart primary 512GiB 22560GiB
