Chapter 7. Adding additional storage to your instance

Some cloud instances do not have enough storage for the RHEL AI end-to-end workflow in the default disk. You can add a directory that holds additional data.

7.1. Adding a data storage directory to your instance

By default RHEL AI holds configuration data in the $HOME directory. You can change this default to a different directory for holding InstructLab data.

Prerequisites

  • You have a Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI instance
  • You added an extra storage disk to your instance

Procedure

  1. You can configure the ILAB_HOME environment variable by writing it to the $HOME/.bash_profile file by running the following commands: 

    $ echo 'export ILAB_HOME=/mnt' >> $HOME/.bash_profile

  2. You can make that change effective by reloading the $HOME/.bash_profile file with the following command: 

    $ source $HOME/.bash_profile
