Resize Checkpoint Firewall’s Disk/Partition Space (Gaia and Splat Platform)
7
Checkpoint Firewall Appliances are using Logical Volume Manager (LVM)
Sometimes, the logic volume do not have enough size to perform your operations. Checkpoint Expert Mode have some commands to modify the volume size while keeping your data on the disk.
1. Check volume size in the volume group vg_splat
[Expert@gw-a9533e:0]# lvs
/dev/hdc: open failed: No medium found
LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy%
lv_current vg_splat -wi-ao 5.00G
lv_log vg_splat -wi-ao 3.00G
/dev/hdc: open failed: No medium found
LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy%
lv_current vg_splat -wi-ao 5.00G
lv_log vg_splat -wi-ao 3.00G
From dh -h command it shows 97% usage on the system volume vg_splat-lv_current. R77.10 will not allow you to operation the firewall if it found insufficient disk space with the warning “there is insufficient disk space to complete the operation’
[Expert@gw-a9533e:0]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_splat-lv_current
4.9G 4.8G 52M 97% /
/dev/sda1 289M 24M 251M 9% /boot
tmpfs 980M 0 980M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/mapper/vg_splat-lv_log
3.0G 175M 2.6G 7% /var/log
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_splat-lv_current
4.9G 4.8G 52M 97% /
/dev/sda1 289M 24M 251M 9% /boot
tmpfs 980M 0 980M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/mapper/vg_splat-lv_log
3.0G 175M 2.6G 7% /var/log
2. Check free space on the disk
[Expert@gw-a9533e:0]# pvs
/dev/hdc: open failed: No medium found
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/sda3 vg_splat lvm2 a- 14.69G 6.69G
/dev/hdc: open failed: No medium found
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/sda3 vg_splat lvm2 a- 14.69G 6.69G
3. Check how much space assigned to the logical volume
[Expert@gw-a9533e:0]# lvs
/dev/hdc: open failed: No medium found
LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy%
lv_current vg_splat -wi-ao 5.00G
lv_log vg_splat -wi-ao 3.00G
/dev/hdc: open failed: No medium found
LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy%
lv_current vg_splat -wi-ao 5.00G
lv_log vg_splat -wi-ao 3.00G
4. Resize the logic volume from 5G to 11G
[Expert@gw-a9533e:0]# lvresize -L 11G vg_splat/lv_current
/dev/hdc: open failed: No medium found
Extending logical volume lv_current to 11.00 GB
Logical volume lv_current successfully resized
/dev/hdc: open failed: No medium found
Extending logical volume lv_current to 11.00 GB
Logical volume lv_current successfully resized
Check the space again with pvs command, there is only 704M free space left
[Expert@gw-a9533e:0]# pvs
/dev/hdc: open failed: No medium found
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/sda3 vg_splat lvm2 a- 14.69G 704.00M
[Expert@gw-a9533e:0]# pvs
/dev/hdc: open failed: No medium found
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/sda3 vg_splat lvm2 a- 14.69G 704.00M
[Expert@gw-a9533e:0]# lvs
/dev/hdc: open failed: No medium found
LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy%
lv_current vg_splat -wi-ao 11.00G
lv_log vg_splat -wi-ao 3.00G
/dev/hdc: open failed: No medium found
LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy%
lv_current vg_splat -wi-ao 11.00G
lv_log vg_splat -wi-ao 3.00G
5. Resize the file system
[Expert@gw-a9533e:0]# resize2fs /dev/vg_splat-lv_current
resize2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006)
Filesystem at /dev/vg_splat/lv_current is mounted on /; on-line resizing required
Performing an on-line resize of /dev/vg_splat/lv_current to 2883584 (4k) blocks.
The filesystem on /dev/vg_splat/lv_current is now 2883584 blocks long.

6. Verify with df command
[Expert@gw-a9533e:0]# df -h
