[SAC] New lvm volume on osgeo 3

Committees SAC mailing list
1

We'd like to get a 100GB lvm volume added to the Web vm on osgeo3.
My notes say we've got a good 500+GB unused on that system. I think we
want to keep it as a separate volume in case we decide to hook it up to
a different vm later.

Thanks,
Alex

osgeo3 currently has 468GB free and osgeo4 has 219G free. The web VM is
currently setup in a DRBD fashion so we will have to use 100G on both
machines. I will have to take the web VM offline for 5-10 minutes to add
the volume to it. We will have to wait for the sync to finish before you
use it (probably an hour or more) after I add it.

I'm looking into seeing if we can move the volume to a different VM down
the road. I'm pretty sure its not possible with the current features but
we probably can make it work via a manual method if we had to.

Let me know if this is OK and when I can take the VM offline to add the
storage.

Thanks-

So minor hiccup in the idea, the Web vm is a poor choice for where to
hook up the 100GB volume as noted in the reply from osuosl. So is there
another vm that we'd prefer to attach it to?

I was actually surprised to learn 2011.foss4g was on Web, I thought it
would have been on webextra with the 2010 foss4g.

Anyone have a suggestion for a good place to add the drive that makes sense?

Thanks,
Alex

Let's go with adding 100GB 2nd disk to webextra which is also on osgeo3.
