Sorry, you are right. I just tried to complete the Add Disk dialog, and I also get the error: > Error while executing action: > > HostedEngine: > > * Cannot add Virtual Machine Disk.

Re: [ovirt-users] Howto extend Hosted-Engine Disk
I also have a hosted-engine setup (3.5.1). If I go into the Admin Portal, select "Virtual Machines" tab, select the HostedEngine, select the Disks subtab, and click Add, I get a dialog for adding a disk. I haven't pursued it any further than that, but it seems it should work. Once you've done that, you should be able to ssh into the engine, use LVM commands to add the disk to your existing volume, and then grow the FS to the new volume size. -Bob On 03/11/2015 11:10 AM, Sven Achtelik wrote: > > Hi Bob, > > > > how can I add a disk without the GUI ?

Re: [ovirt-users] Howto extend Hosted-Engine Disk
Hi Bob, how can I add a disk without the GUI ? It's a hosted engine install and the gui won't let me do any changes to the engine VM.

[ovirt-users] Howto extend Hosted-Engine Disk
Hi All, I've installed ovirt 3.5 with a hosted-engine some time ago and noticed that I've set the virtual disk of the engine to small during install. Is there a way to extend the virtual disk without reinstalling everything ? Thank you, Sven ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
