We do not support resizing partitions on active installations. You can create a backup of your current installation and restore it to a new installation of the same version of Genian NAC.

You can see instructions on how to obtain and restore a backup image here.

To add the backup image to your newly installed system, login to the CLI on the Policy Server:

Enter the command ‘enable’ and authenticate to enter the privileged mode.

To retrieve this file to another machine, you must enter the shell mode using the command ‘@shell’ from the privileged mode. This command will not be visible on screen.

Use the command ‘scp [user]@[IP]:[source path] /disk/data/DBBACKUP’ to retrieve the backup file from the machine it was downloaded to. This machine must support ssh access. For example:

‘scp scott@192.168.1.50:/home/scott/ALDER-88909-20200902-150143.tar.gz /disk/data/DBBACKUP’

Enter command ‘exit’, and then reauthenticate to the CLI, re-enter the ‘enable’ command, and reauthenticate again.

Use the command ‘do restore [backup name without file extension]’ to initiate the restore process, and follow the onscreen prompts.

For example: ‘do restore ALDER-88909-20200902-150143’

hello Scott,

thank you for your reply,

the reason i want to increase the  /dev/sda2, because my virtual genians keep crashing because of full disk, after restart everything normal but 2 or 3 days later it’s crashing again, i follow the 2000 nodes sizing.

If reimaging your server does not solve the problem, please collect all the logs using the method shown here.

Provide the logs to us via slack, and we will investigate the root cause of the issue.
