PLEASE NOTE: This guide is for situations where a machine has run out of space due to call recordings. This should not be followed if this is for a new machine.

• Add the required amount of disk within vSphere. If the VM does not have a 2nd hard disk, make sure you add a 2nd one.
  
   
• Within the Linux terminal, assuming that the sdb disk hasn't been created, enter the following in this order:
  • fdisk /dev/sdb
  • n > p > select defaults
  • t > 3 > 8e
  • w
     
• Continue with the following:
  • pvcreate /dev/sdb1
  • pvscan
  • vgcreate VolGroup-CR /dev/sdb1
  • vgdisplay
  • lvcreate -L 20G -n lvol0 VolGroup--CR
  • Lvdisplay
  • mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/VolGroup-CR-lvol0
     
• Now the important part. Because there are already call recordings being stored within /opt/pbxware/pw/var/spool/asterisk, we need to move this folder and any sub-folders to a temporary directory:
  • mkdir /opt/pbxware/pw/var/spool/asterisk1
  • mount /dev/VolGroup-CR-lvol0 /opt/pbxware/pw/var/spool/asterisk1
  • df -h
  • mv /opt/pbxware/pw/var/spool/asterisk/* /opt/pbxware/pw/var/spool/asterisk1
  • umount /dev/VolGroup-CR-lvol0
  • df -h
     
• The disk is now mounted on the temporary folder and all files have been moved to this folder as well. The target directory (/opt/pbxware/pw/var/spool/asterisk) is now empty, meaning we can now unmount the disk from asterisk1, and re-mount it back onto asterisk.
  • vim /etc/fstab
  • paste this under “proc”: 
    • /dev/mapper/VolGroup--CR-lvol0  /opt/pbxware/pw/var/spool/asterisk      ext4    defaults        2 1
  • It should look like this:
    •  
  • wq
  • mount -a
• df -h should now show the directory of /opt/pbxware/pw/var/spool/asterisk with a new parition assigned.

MAKE SURE THAT CRONJOBS ARE CREATED AS WELL IF REQUIRED.
