Back to Upgrading Hardware

These guidelines are very brief and require someone with Linux experience to execute correctly.

Step 1

Determine the kernel hardware label for the new disk.

After connecting the new disk to the server and rebooting, login to the server using a console and type; 

sudo fdisk -l

This command will list all the disks attached and the kernel label used.

For example:

Step 2

Create a linux partition on the new disk.

Step 3

Make a linux filesystem on the new disk.

Step 4

Make a mount point on the linux file system for the new disk.

Step 5

Mount the new disk to the mount point on the linux file system.
