***WARNING, resizing a disk volume will require a reboot of your virtual machine. This article describes how to increase the size of a disk volume.
1. Log into the WebControlCenter at
http://www.webcontrolcenter.com/customer.aspx. If you need login help, please see our
article on the subject.
1. Once logged into your VPS account in the WebControlCenter, go to the
Server menu, then select
VPS Management.
2. On the
VPS Management page, go to the
Disk Management tab.
3. Next to the Disk you wish to expand, select
Change (Under details, you will see your volume information that you can compare to which logical volume you need to modify).
4. Select your new volume size and click
OK.
The virtual machine is required to come back online before the change in volume size completes. The page is also locked to prevent any modifications during this process. If you browse away from this page, we will be notified that there might be an inconsistency. As such, please keep the page up until the process completes. Once the reallocation process completes, you will need to log into your virtual machine (via RDP), and modify the new space as you see fit.
5. After you RDP into the server, go to the
Start menu. Click
Run, then type in '
diskmgmt.msc'.
6. If you are simply adding space to an already existing volume, right click the the volume and select
Extend Volume. If you extend cross disk it will require that you convert your disks to dynamic disks (a warning will pop up, read through the warning and click yes if you are sure you want to do that). It is good practice to only extend to a volume on the same disk. (if you add space to disk one, it is recommended you only extend a volume on disk 1).
