Snapshots, not enough space on server - help

[carl_t]

Hi Guys

I am trying to snapshot our management server, however we dont have enough space.

I believe they get saved using "unallocated" space 

When I boot in maintenance mode and run lvm_manager, I cannot increase this unallocated space.

I have attached some screenshots.

What are my options here guys? what do I need to do

Cheers

You can increase the storage of your VM.

You can follow this SK: https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk94671

Hi, we have already done that on vmware and its made no difference, the gaia OS doesnt see it

Hi

I have followed that guide, we have added a disk in vm, however we cannot see it when we type fdisk -l

any ideas?

What does lvm_manager show? Any unallocated space left? Nm, I see from your first screenshot. Since there is some space left, can you boot into maintenance mode, run lvm_manager and see if needed partition can be extended?

Hi, it shows 34GB unallocated, I need 39GB for snapshot.

I need to know how to increase this unallocated space. We did add another disk in VMware, but when we type fdisk -l in maintenance mode we do not see the new disk anywhere.

Any ideas ?

The only method I know is what @Amir_Senn sent (that same SK). Maybe confirm with TAC to see if something may had been missed?
