Resizing the data volume on AWS

Before proceeding, back up all the data you need as all data is lost in resizing. Resizing without data loss is not currently supported.

To re-size the data volume on AWS:

1. Stop the FortiSandbox AWS instance. Ensure the instance is stopped from the AWS EC2 console > Instances.

   

2. Select the stopped FortiSandbox AWS instance. Click the Storage tab. In the Volume ID column, click the data volume ID link (located next to the Device Name). The Volumes page opens.

   

3. On the Volumes page, select the volume, and click Actions > Modify volume.

   

4. Modify the volume details, then click Modify.

5. On the confirmation pop-up window, click Modify to confirm.

   

6. The AWS EC2 console shows a warning message. This is expected.

   

7. Click the Refresh button next to the Actions menu to refresh the page. Ensure the Volume state and Volume Status are ready to use.

   

8. Go back to the Instances page and start the modified FortiSandbox AWS instance.

9. After FortiSandbox boots up, run the FortiSandbox CLI command: resize-hd.

10. After FortiSandbox reboots, run FortiSandbox CLI command: status to verify the Disk Size is correct.
