Workaround Attach Additional Disk to VM
From stoney cloud
Contents
Abstract
It is currently not possible to attach additional virtual disks directly via the default webinterface.
What you do in principle:
- Update the VMs configuration data in the LDAP directory
- Manually reate the virtual disk
- Regenerate the VM configuration on the node
Step by step
Part I
- Expand the VM entry for the VM you want to add an additional disk to and note the UUID below VM name (VMUUID)
- Use
uuidgen
and generate a new UUID (DISKUUID) - Calculate the size of the new disk in bytes:
N * 1073741824
for N gigabyte (DISKSIZE) - Open the URL http://YOURSTONEYCLOUD/phpldapadmin/ and login using
dc=Manager,...
- Navigate to:
sstDisk=vda,ou=devices,sstVirtualMachine=VMUUID,ou=virtual machines,ou=virtualization,ou=services,dc=foss-cloud,dc=org
using the tree structure on the left - Click on
Copy or move this entry
and choosesstDisk=vdb,ou=devices,sstVirtualMachine=VMUUID,ou=virtual machines,ou=virtualization,ou=services,dc=foss-cloud,dc=org
asDestination DN
- Replace:
- the UUID in
sstVolumeName
- and the same UUID in
sstSourceFile
with DISKUUID (warning: insstSourceFile
are at least two UUIDs, replace only the one matchingsstVolumeName
) - the value in
sstVolumeCapacity
by DISKSIZE
- the UUID in
- Click on
Create
and confirm withCommit
- You should get:
Creation successful!
- Note the first UUID in the attribute
sstSourceFile
(POOLUUID)
Part II
- Login to the VM node on which the VM is/was running
- Run the following command as root:
virsh vol-create-as POOLUUID DISKUUID.qcow2 DISKSIZE --allocation 0
- You should get
Vol DISKUUID.qcow2 created
- Run:
chown root:vm-storage /var/virtualization/POOLUUID/DISKUUID.qcow2
- Run:
chmod g+rw /var/virtualization/POOLUUID/DISKUUID.qcow2
- Switch to the stoney cloud webinterface again and shutdown the VM (if not already done)
- Click first on the
edit VM
icon and thensave
(without changing anything) - Start the VM again
