We are trying to setup a private cloud on the following server specs:
Supermicro Sever Boards
Quadcore xeon
12GB mem
4TB storage in RAID10
We installed XCP 1.0 and it was successful except that XCP only sees 2TB
of storage.
Output of df -h:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 4.0G 1.5G 2.3G 39% /
none 380M 0 380M 0% /dev/shm
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Output of fdisk -l:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The util
fdisk doesn''t support GPT. Use GNU Parted.

Any idea on how this can be resolved? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply Denis. I kinda figured that GPT is required. So how does one install XCP with a GPT partion instead of an MBR partition?

Hi Jessy,> Thanks for the reply Denis. > > I kinda figured that GPT is required. > > So how does one install XCP with a GPT partion instead of an MBR partition?The fdisk message (WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on ''/dev/sda''!) says that you are already using GTP partition. Are you sure you are actually missing space? Could you check the ouput of vgdisplay and "parted /dev/sda print all" (parted is not installed by default on XCP, but you can install it if you enable Centos repositories)? cheers, Denis> > On Monday, 09 May, 2011 06:16 PM, Denis Cardon wrote: >> Hi Jessy, >> >>> 4TB storage in RAID10 >>> >>> We installed XCP 1.0 and it was successful except that XCP only sees 2TB >>> of storage. >>> Output of df -h: >>> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >>> Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on >>> /dev/sda1 4.0G 1.5G 2.3G 39% / >>> none 380M 0 380M 0% /dev/shm >>> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >> >> the df output just tells you the size of the dom0 system partition. >> The VM are stored on a lvm partition and you should use vgdisplay to >> see what you have there. >> >>> Output of fdisk -l: >>> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>> >>> >>> WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on ''/dev/sda''!

Hello. You can add free ( unpartitioned ) space to local lvm storage using lvm or system-config-lvm ( install it from cent-os repo ).
