Storage Expansion Option Might Not Expand Storage on ZCM 11.4.x Appliance

Under certain conditions, the "Storage Expansion" option on the ZENworks 11.4.x Appliance may not expand the storage space allocated to "/vastorage" or the "/var" partitions.

 

As a work-around try the following:

 

1. Expand the disk under VMware
2. novell-zenworks-configure -c Start -> Stop all ZENworks services
3. rcvabase-datamodel stop
4. rcvabase-jetty stop
5. umount /vastorage
6. yast disk -> resize /dev/sdb1 device
7. rcvabase-datamodel start
8. rcvabase-jetty start
9. novell-zenworks-configure -c Start -> Start all ZENworks services
