virtual Sophos UTM created too small - need to enlarge

ToBu
Hi everyone,

I know that this question has been asked a couple of times, but in all those threads I did not find a sastisfying answer, so here i go again...

When installing the virtualised UTM from the ISO, I unfortunately only created a 16GB VMDK-file.
Currently, I am deleting log files, cores, etc. every few days, to keep the data partition from overflowing.
Since I have plenty (about 85) certificate-based VPN connectoins terminating on my Sophos UTM, which recreating would be a real pain, I do not want to backup my configuration, and install the UTM from scratch.

Enlarging the VMDK-file is no problem, but how can I enlarge the Sophos UTM's own partitions ?

Any hint is highly appreciated.
Thank you advance.

Regards
Tobias

    Hi Tobias,

    I don't know if there is a way to enlarge the drives from within the UTM. Doing so would require access to partitioning tools which I don't think are present on the UTM as this scenario wasn't envisioned afaik.

    Two options I can see are to either:

    1) Boot the UTM vm with a live CD and run the partitioning tools from there. Suse may have a live cd or you may need to pick your own flavor.

    2) Use vmware convertor (if this is vmware based) to convert the vm.

    Either way you're looking at downtime.

    Hi TheDrew,

    VMware converter is a great idea, should have thought of that myself.
    Thank you.
