Note:
The LVM installation only works with a fresh installation of APSolute Vision version 3.95 and
above, or an upgrade from a fresh installation of APSolute Vision version 3.95 and above.
In many cases, there may not be enough disk space available on the present hard disk in order to
install LVM, and you will need to first add an extra disk (partition) in order to resize (enlarge) the
disk volume needed to install LVM. Once there is enough disk volume, you can install the LVM on the
virtual machine.
The following describes the procedures for adding disk volume and installing LVM functionality for
VMWare, KVM and Microsoft Hyper-V.
Note:
The size limit for
/opt/radware/storage
logical volume is 16T. It can be achieved by
adding more than one extra disk. The command is designed to add one disk device at a time. You
need to run the command two times, for example, in order to add two disk devices.
