Disk space expansion procedure (Hyper-V version)

Modified on Wed, Apr 19, 2023 at 2:07 AM

With NetLD or ThirdEye, you can only add additional disks.  You cannot extend existing disk space.  (note: this will only impact the Data directory).

Note: it may take up to 30 minutes to reflect change.

 

 

  1. Stop ThirdEye from the Hyper-V console.
