Add a Partition

You can add a partition using the system host-disk-partition-add command.

The syntax for the command is:

system host-disk-partition-add <host> <disk> <size>

where:

<host>

is the host name or ID.

<disk>

is the disk path or UUID.

<size>

is the partition size in MiB.

Procedure

For example, to set up a 512 MiB partition on compute-1, do the following:

~(keystone_admin)$ system host-disk-partition-add  compute-1 fcd2f59d-c9ee-4423-9f57-e2c55d5b97dc 512
