Resizing VM

Resizing VM

The FortiManager-VM allows you to add up to fifteen virtual log disks to a deployed instance. You can use the following CLI command to see how many log disks have been added and how much disk space is available:

execute lvm info

When adding additional disks, use the following CLI command to extend the LVM logical volume:

execute lvm extend

VM platforms may automatically restart or prompt you to restart when resizing an active VM. As a precaution to prevent database corruption and preserve data in FortiManager, it is best to perform a graceful shutdown before resizing.

To perform a graceful shutdown, enter the following command in the FortiManager CLI:

execute shutdown

For more details about these commands, see the FortiManager CLI Reference on the Fortinet Document Library.
