swapon -a
10 Reboot the vRealize Automation appliance.
11 After the appliance reboots, run the following command to resize the Disk 1 partition table.

on /dev/sda1 is greater than 3 GB.
Manual PostgreSQL Database Merge
The external PostgreSQL database merge with the embedded PostgreSQL database does not succeed.
Problem
If the PostgreSQL database upgrade merge does not succeed, you can perform a manual merge.
Solution
1 Revert the vRealize Automation virtual appliance to the snapshot you made before upgrade.
2 Log in to the vRealize Automation virtual appliance and run this command to allow upgrade to
complete if the database merge does not succeed.
touch /tmp/allow-external-db
The command does not disable auto merge.
3 On the remote PostgreSQL database host, connect to the PostgreSQL database using the psql tool and
run these commands.
CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS "hstore";
CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS "uuid-ossp";
CREATE SCHEMA saas AUTHORIZATION vcac;
