PURPOSE: All documents are provided on this Blog just for educational purposes only. Please make sure that you run it in your test environment before to move on to production environment.
NOTE: make sure, that you test first on our test system!
Following
is the File System we want to increase.
/dev/sdb1 100G
88G 13G 88% /oracle
Step 1.
Increase a hardware disk size in VMWare to 150GB
Using
VMWare vSphere Client, open the properties of the virtual machine and increase
the Provisioned Size.
Step2. Stop
the running Application on Server
Step3. Unmount
the partition
umount
/oracle
or
umount -l
/oracle
df -Th
Step4.
Start to increase the partition.
