Configuring the hard drive
Once you have installed a new hard drive, you can configure it through the
appliance's Web interface. Configuration options include:
• Extending the /home directory
• Mirroring the disk
Regardless of how you will configure it, make sure the new drive is:
• The same type of drive as the original hard drive. The storefront appliance
uses a SCSI drive.
• The same size or larger as the original drive.
Note: You can't change the usage of an additional hard drive after it has been
configured for /home directory extension or disk mirroring.
Extending the /home directory
Warning: When extending the /home directory, all data in that directory will be
lost. Remember to back up the data in /home before performing this operation so
that you can restore the data and then use its expanded storage capacity.
To extend the /home directory
1. Install the hard drive.
2. At the the Status page of the interface, click the more... link next to Drive
space usage. The Second drive status field at the bottom of the page
will show the current status of the newly installed drive.
3. Remember to back up the contents of the /home directory so that you can
restore domains and users after the new drive is configured!
4. Click Extend /home directory. This process runs in the background. A
percentage bar will show the progress as the disk is formatted.
5. When the extension is complete, reboot the appliance
6. Restore the contents of the /home directory.
All subsequent file copying will be done using standard RAID level-0 disk striping.
