| Resizing the disk of a Xen based VM |
Page 1 of 5 This howto will guide you through all the steps required to resize the disk of a Xen based virtual machine. 0. Preliminary notes0.1 In this howto we will be using OpenSUSE 11.0 both as the Host (Dom0) and the Guest (DomU) OS; 0.2 we installed the X Server both on the Host and the Guest machine, but we chose 3 as our default Runlevel (so, if you need to use the system GUI, you just have to login as root and type init 5 to start X);  0.3 you could use LVM based partitioning in the DomU also (so you could easily resize the VM disks), but we chose not to go that way to avoid slowing more than necessary the I/O throughput. |
