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
7 Register the partition changes with the Linux kernel.
partprobe
Note If you see a message telling you to reboot before you make further changes, ignore the
message. Rebooting the system before step 10 corrupts the upgrade process.
8 Format the new swap partition.
mkswap /dev/sda2
