Reassign current drives (backup and DBroot)
-------------------------------------------

.. index:: drives;drives reassign

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).
