Not that I'm recommending or endorsing this method but we have done it in the past. Stop the instance, resize the root volume on your hypervisor directly (this process varies based on the hypervisor and storage method used), adjust the size to match in the CloudStack database (specifically in the volumes table), and start the instance.

But you have to be careful. If that volume gets deleted out from under the VM, your VM is pretty much dead.

I see it uses the template's size (which in my case is tiny) and I need to have it increased. Pointers? Thanks, Lucian -- Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology!
