Add more hard disk space
------------------------------------------------

This procedure adds more hard disk space. 

In a clustered environment, this procedure needs to be performed
on all of the DB nodes.


1. Right click on the VM in the VMware Client and click **Edit Settings**.
2. On the Hardware tab, click **Add**.
3. Follow the wizard to add a new hard disk to the VM with the correct size.
4. This step is required for example to accommodate a large database restore.
   If the restore size exceeds both the backup and dbroot drives size, 
   ensure you add two hard disks to the VM.
