Reconfigure Disk 1 on All vRealize Automation Appliance Nodes
You must reconfigure Disk 1 on the vRealize Automation version you are upgrading from before
beginning the upgrade.
Perform this procedure for each replica appliance node sequentially, and then for the master node.
Note When you perform this procedure, you might see these warning messages:
n
WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16:
Device or resource busy. The kernel still uses the old table. The
new table will be used at the next reboot or after you run
partprobe(8) or kpartx(8) Syncing disks.
n
Error: Partition(s) 1 on /dev/sda have been written, but we have been unable to inform the kernel
of the change, probably because it/they are in use. As a result, the old partition(s) will remain
in use. You should reboot now before making further changes.
Ignore this message: You should reboot now before making further changes. If you reboot your system
before step 10, you will corrupt the upgrade process.
Procedure
1 Power on and SSH login to the vRealize Automation appliance.
2 Stop all vRealize Automation services.
a service vcac-server stop
b service vco-server stop
c service vpostgres stop
3 Unmount the swap partition:
swapoff -a
4 Delete the existing Disk 1 partitions and create a 44 GB root partition and a 6 GB swap partition:
(echo d; echo 2; echo d; echo 1; echo n; echo p; echo ; echo ; echo '+44G'; echo
n; echo p; echo ; echo ; echo ; echo w; echo p; echo q) | fdisk /dev/sda
5 Change the swap partition type.
(echo t; echo 2; echo 82; echo w; echo p; echo q) | fdisk /dev/sda
6 Set the Disk 1 bootable flag:
(echo a; echo 1; echo w; echo p; echo q) | fdisk /dev/sda
