Reassign Current Drives (Backup and DBroot)

  1. Once the hard disks are added, reassign the drives using the drives reassign <disk> <mountpoint name> <size in GB> command.
  2. Use the drives list command to list the new drives added through VMware. For example, if the new drive is listed as sdf, use the reassign command as follows: drives reassign sdf services:backups <size in GB>.
  3. Similarly, to reassign the dbroot, use the reassign command as follows: drives reassign sde mongodb:dbroot <size in GB>.

Note

The <size in GB> specification means the volume need not be the size of the entire disk. However, a specified size must not be more than 90% of the disk size (or more than <disk size less 10GB> if the disk size is 100GB or smaller).
