Environment
Filr 3.2.1
Situation
Filr desktop clients cannot connect.
MySQL service has stopped; cannot restart the service.
Rebooting does not resolve the problem.
Resolution
Expand the disk space on the /vastorage disk. The steps (See "Managing Storage" in the Filr Administration Guide.) are:
- Log in to the Filr appliance at https://server_url:9443.
- Click Storage.
- Use the tools provided by your virtualization platform vendor to expand the virtual disks that contain the partitions your are expanding.
- In the provided table, select the partitions to be expanded.
- Click Expand partitions.
Appliance services are stopped, the selected partitions are expanded to the size of their respective disks, and appliance services are restarted. - If there are any Bash console sessions open on the appliance, close them before proceeding to Step 7.
- Reboot the appliance so the operating system can detect the disks that have been expanded.
Cause
Insufficient disk space for MySQL. The problem can be identified by accessing the Port 9443 Administration Console. Click on the "System Services" button, then on the "download" link for the MySQL service. Examine the log, looking for lines similar to:
