Reassign Current Drives (Backup and DBroot)¶
Once the hard disks are added, reassign the drives using the drives reassign <disk> <mountpoint name> <size in GB> command.
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>.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).
