How can I expand the memory in the vDC?

1. Log in to your Windows server.
2. Open “Computer Management”.
3. Switch to Storage > Disk Management.
4. Right-click on the partition to be extended and select “Extend Volume…” and follow the steps.

Current hard disk and partition status

df -h

Extend partition

sudo parted /dev/sda

Show partitions

print

Partition extension

resizepart 2 100%

Partition is extended and parted can be terminated with :

quit

File system customization

sudo resize2fs /dev/sda

Current hard disk and partition status

df -h

Start fdisk to begin the expansion.

sudo fdisk /dev/sda

Display the partition table:

P

Delete the partition you want to extend. Don’t worry, your data will not be lost if you create the partition with the same sectors.

d

Recreate the partition.

n

You will then be asked which partition number, first sector and last sector. Enter the “default” value here. Finally, confirm with y.

Check whether the partition was created correctly.

p

If everything is correct, use the following command to save everything:

w

Now the file system needs to be extended, enter the following command:

sudo resize2fs /dev/sda2

Check everything again:

df -h
