+# Expand the Hard Disk of Virtual Appliance
+
+If you install Harbor with OVA, the persistent data(such as images and database) is stored in a hard disk which is mounted on directory "/data", and the default size is 50GB. As more and more images are pushed into it, the capacity may not meet your requirements.  
+
+You can check the space on Harbor web UI by clicking on the admin's name at the upper left corner and selecting "About" from the drop-down menu if you log in with an admin user:

+
+If your free space is running out, you can expand the size of the hard disk by the following steps:  
+
+1. Add New Hard Disk to VM  
+
+    (1) Log in vSphere web client. Power off Harbor's virtual appliance.  
+    (2) Right click on the VM and select "Edit Settings".  
+    (3) Select "New Hard Disk", and click "OK".  
+
+    ![lvm](img/lvm/add_new_hard_disk.png)
+
+    We add a 10GB new hard disk to show the operations.  
+
+    (4) Power on the VM.  
+
+2. Expand Hard Disk using LVM  
+
+	Login from the console of the virtual appliance and run the following commands:  
+
+	(1) Check the current size of "/data":  
+	```sh
+	df -h /data
+	```
+
+	![lvm](img/lvm/size_of_data_01.png)
+
+	(2) Find the new hard disk, e.g. "/dev/sdc". Replace all "/dev/sdc" with your disk in the following commands.  
+	```sh
+	fdisk -l
+	```
+
+	![lvm](img/lvm/find_the_new_harddisk.png)
+
+	(3) Create new physical volume:  
+	```sh
+	pvcreate /dev/sdc
+	```
+
+	(4) Check the volume group:  
+	```sh
+	vgdisplay
+	```
+
+	![lvm](img/lvm/vg_01.png)
+
+	(5) Expand the volume group:
+	```sh
+	vgextend data1_vg /dev/sdc
+	```
+
+	(6) Check the volume group again:  
+	```sh
+	vgdisplay
+	```
+
+	![lvm](img/lvm/vg_02.png)
+
+	(7) Check the logical volume:
+	```sh
+	lvdisplay
+	```
+
+	![lvm](img/lvm/lv_01.png)
+
+	(8) Resize the logical volume:  
+	```sh
+	lvresize -l +100%FREE /dev/data1_vg/data
+	```
+
+	![lvm](img/lvm/resize_lv.png)
+
+	(9) Check the logical volume again, note the change of "LV Size":
+	```sh
+	lvdisplay
+	```
+
+	![lvm](img/lvm/lv_02.png)
+
+	(10) Resize the file system:
+	```sh
+	resize2fs /dev/data1_vg/data
+	```
+
+	(11) Check the size "/data" again:
+	```sh
+	df -h /data
+	```
+
+	![lvm](img/lvm/size_of_data_02.png)
+
+	You can also check the size on Harbor web UI:
+
+	![lvm](img/lvm/check_on_ui.png)
+
+After that, your disk should be expanded successfully. If you want to add more hard disks, do the steps again.
