[SOLVED] Adding disk space to a windows VM in Xen xm

gringissimo · 01-25-2016, 03:29 PM

I have a server running debian 2.6.32 and xen xm. There are two windows VMs running and I need to add disk space to one of them for a software upgrade. I cannot seem to find many resources on line to help out with this. Full disclosure, I am a Linux moron, but I understand virtualization, servers and windows.
Thanks.

Not an exactly one step process.

Ways to go are basically..

One, create a larger empty virtual drive (file) and clone the client.

Two, add in second drive and add it if you have either dynamic or raid otherwise you'd have to add it to a folder.

This link may assume some things but look at it in case it applies maybe. http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX125405

Thanks jefro. I actually ended up trashing the whole thing and putting ESXI on the server, but your post was informative.

You may have also extended it using lvm
