Mailing List Archive: The system's root volume does not meet the minimum required size.

Getting this warning in the "Active IQ Suggestions" since our last upgrade.
It has a link under Corrective Action that leads to the top of NA's
Hardware Universe site.

The root volumes for our three vservers are all only 0% or 1% used (1GB
each).

But the "vol0" volumes show:
scarab::> vol show
Vserver Volume Aggregate State Type Size Available
Used%
--------- ------------ ------------ ---------- ---- ---------- ----------
-----
scarab-a vol0 aggr0_scarab_01 online RW 151.3GB 78.82GB
45%
scarab-b vol0 aggr0_scarab_02 online RW 124.6GB 61.74GB
47%

I think I recall trying to resize a node's root volume from the CLI in the
past and getting an error along the lines of "don't mess with this volume."

Look at the aggregate those "vol0" volumes are on, if there is space
available:

vol size -vserver scarab-a -volume vol0 +50G
vol size -vserver scarab-a -volume vol0 +50G

If they are partitioned, see if you have any root partitions available
"storage aggregate show-spare-disks' -> look for non-0 root partitions

ChnageMe::*> storage aggregate show-spare-disks

1.0.47 SSD-CAP solid-state - block 6.98TB

I could add one more root partition to the aggregate and leave a single
spare. in my case
I might have to:
aggregate show -fields maxraidsize root_aggr_01|root_aggr_02
-> if the maxraidsize = the # of disks in the aggregate, increase it a
little by 1 or 2. then add a partition or two if available
aggregate add disk root_aggr_01 -diskcount 1
