It’s expected that only the common partition grows if you expand the vDisk.  The feature is there because some versions of UCM require more space available in that partition than others.

You need to change the disk size changes only if you need additional space to complete the upgrade. The disk space requirements are specified in the Readme file for the OVA template.

Expanding the disk size to add space to the common partition will not increase the user capacity of your system. If you need to extend the user capacity of your system, you must migrate from a single-disk to a multi-disk virtual machine

So if you really need to go from a 2500 user deployment to a 7500 user one you should DRS, rebuild, restore so your active and inactive partitions get sized accordingly.

unknown. installer still does a hardware check.

while testing my moh problem, I used an 8.6 ova to deploy the old 10k template, made the one OS tweak to the image, then installed 10.5(2) on it. successful install.

I wonder what the difference is between expanding and installing on 120G from the beginning, since there is the report of it only growing the common partition.

the resize cop file is for 9x only, 10 has it built in. I'm running around with a tac case to address a stock 9x or 10x 7.5 to 10k user build that results with a 110G disk. doesn't leave much space for those 500 moh sources.....

if you shut the image down and increase from 110 to at least 112G, the boot process grows the common partition out.

as a standard, any of our 10x installs for large clients, we are growing the disk out to 120G just to be safe.

The VMware disk reallocation worked for us also going from 80gig  to 110gig for 10.5. Were on. 9.1 prior.

The readme in the download link Is pretty good but doesn't say outright what to increase it to.

High level steps ,

Make sure you have a good backup

Install the cop file
Shutdown the vm
Change virtual disk from 80G to 110G
Save /OK settings
Power on VM

It will reboot a few times while extending disk then come up fine / normal .

So in the CUCM 10.5 download section for the Utilities, it seems to have combined the common cleanup COP file and the VMware Disk Size Reallocation.

There is a COP file title 'VMware Disk Size Reallocation COP file' but the actual file is ciscocm.free_common_space_v1.3.k3.cop.sgn

The actual reallocation cop file isn't part of the CUCM 10.5 download, I had to go back into an older version to file that COP.  So that is why I was thinking in 10.5 all you would need to do is change the size of the vDisk in VMware and restart CUCM 10.5.

Is there an official document on the process to follow for this change ?

I have.

Went from 2500 to 7500 on CUCM 10.5(1).

You need to download the VMware Disk Size Reallocation COP file for
10.5. Worked like a charm.
