Increasing KeyControl Storage in a VM

If you installed KeyControl in a VM, you can increase the amount of storage available without reinstalling KeyControl. You just need to increase the size of the underlying disk and reboot the KeyControl node.

Important: If you upgraded to Version 10.4.3, you must delete the pre-upgrade snapshots before you start. See Delete KeyControl Snapshots.

  1. Increase the size of the virtual disk in which KeyControl is installed using your hypervisor tools.

    Note: You may need to shut down the VM before you can resize the disk. For details, see your hypervisor documentation.

  2. Log into the KeyControl Vault Management webGUI using an account with Domain Admin privileges.
  3. In the top right, click the Switch to Appliance Management link.
  4. In the top menu bar, click Cluster.
  5. Select the KeyControl node whose disk you just resized in the list.
  6. Select Actions > System Reboot.
  7. If necessary, log back into the webGUI after the KeyControl node has rebooted.
  8. Review the Audit Log messages. The node should report the new size upon success or provide information if the resize failed.
