Goal

How to extend root filesystem size in Exalytics x5-4 ?

Solution

It is unsupported to extend root filesystem size in Exalytics x5-4. Increasing the root partition is little risky , as it involves deleting the partition table and recreating with larger sizes.Instead Oracle suggest to check the backup client installation, if it is possible to install in some other directory.

Rather than extending root partition, it is recommended to create another extended partition , create file system and mount it on the directory which will save more files.

Generally 3 GB is more than enough for OVM and Oracle doesn't recommend to save much files on OVM file system. If logs are taking more space , then save those logs in some remote server.
