Prerequisites for Installing JSA 7.5.0 Update Package 1 qcow2

Before you begin, see section Administrator Notes to understand the system requirements for installing JSA 7.5.0 Update Package 1 using an qcow2 image.

We recommend that you increase the amount of storage allocated to a particular partition on the disk image.

Perform the following steps to expand the disk image or store partition:

Note:

Shut down the VM before you perform this operation to avoid corrupting the disk that contains the qcow2 image.

  1. Expand the qcow2 disk image by using the following command.
  2. Check if there is sufficient disk space for the uncompressed image by using the following command.
  3. Boot the disk image by using the following command.
  4. Log in as the root user to JSA by using the JSA console or SSH.
  5. Run the parted command on the disk /dev/vda to increase the size of the disk partition. Ensure that you type fix when prompted.
  6. Reboot the device so that the new partition is reflected in the partition table by using the following command.
  7. Run the parted command to display the free space and note the beginning and ending blocks.
  8. Reboot the device to ensure that the new partition fixes are reflected in the partition table.
  9. Create a new partition at the end of the existing partition by using the following commands.
  10. Set the partition as a Logical Volume Manager (LVM) partition by using the following commands.

    Table 1 shows the updated partition table after creating an LVM partition.

    The logical volume is now extended.

  14. Extend the file system by using the following command.

    The file system is now extended.

    You have now extended the physical volume group, logical volume of the disk, and the file system as required. You can now install JSA 7.5.0 Update Package 1 using a qcow2 image. See Installing JSA 7.5.0 Update Package 1 qcow2 on the KVM for information on installing JSA 7.5.0 Update Package 1 using a qcow2 image.
