1. Shut down omniosdev
2. Take a snapshot of your VM.
3. Edit the VM Hard Drive settings. INCREASE the size of the VM Disk. (20G)
4. Boot from GParted CDROM. Choose Option 2, Enter command line prompt.
5. At the prompt, fdisk /dev/sda (pick your correct disk)
6. Press p to print the current partition table.
7. Make a note of the Start and End of the Solaris partition in case you
have to restore it with Gparted fdisk. Do not mix fdisk versions
(OmniOS vs Debian vs Linux as they may show different layouts. Use
the same one to restore as what you viewed it with)
8. My Start:16065 my End: 25157789
9. Delete the Solaris partition: press d (if you have only have 1
partition, it will be deleted otherwise you will be prompted for the
correct partition to delete)
10. Press p to ensure it has been deleted
11. Create a new partition: press n
12. Primary partition / Partition 1 (in my case)
13. First Sector: 16065 (The start of the previous Solaris partition)
14. Last Sector: Use the default value value to take all the free space)
15. Press p to print the layout. Notice the new END.
16. Press a and select the partition to make it bootable.
17. Press t and select the partition. Then type in bf as the Hex code
18. Press p to print the layout
19. So now we have a bigger Solaris partition that's bootable and starts
on the exact same sector as the previous partition.
20. Press w to write the table to disk.
21. Edit your VM or replace the CD and Reboot into the OmniOS CD.
22. go to the shell
23. execute "format"
24. Specify your VM's Boot disk, eg: mine was disk 0 (c2t0d0)
25. Press p and enter for partition.
26. Press p and enter again to print the partition
27. Notice the difference between Total Cylinders and the size of the root /
backup due to the now bigger drive.
28. The field showing the total disk Cylinders S=2607. (Mine was 2607,
yours will differ) Edit both the root and backup partition to resize them
to S-2 (root) and S-1 (backup) cylinders respectively. My New root = 2605
(S-2) and My New backup is 2606 (S-1)
29. Hit 0 for root partition:
Just hit enter to accept the defaults on the following three questions: ID
tag: root / Permission flags: wm / Starting cyl:1 When prompted for the
Partition Size enter 2605e
30. Hit 2 for backup partition: Just hit enter to accept the defaults on
the following three questions: ID tag: root / Permission flags: wm /
Starting cyl:0 When prompted for the Partition Size enter 2606e
31. Press p to print layout.
Note the bigger sizes now for the partitions.
32. Press l to label (write) new layout to disk and answer y when prompted.
33. Remove CDrom and boot into OmnioOS
34. zpool scrub rpool
35. when scrub finishes, "zpool set autoexpand=on rpool"
and reboot
36. zpool set autoexpand=off rpool
