9.8.5. Adding a disk to a virtual machine

You can add a virtual disk to a virtual machine (VM) by using the OpenShift Container Platform web console.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to Virtualization VirtualMachines in the web console.
  2. Select a VM to open the VirtualMachine details page.
  3. On the Disks tab, click Add disk.

  4. Specify the Source, Name, Size, Type, Interface, and Storage Class.

    1. Optional: You can enable preallocation if you use a blank disk source and require maximum write performance when creating data volumes. To do so, select the Enable preallocation checkbox.
    2. Optional: You can clear Apply optimized StorageProfile settings to change the Volume Mode and Access Mode for the virtual disk. If you do not specify these parameters, the system uses the default values from the kubevirt-storage-class-defaults config map.

  5. Click Add.

    注記

    If the VM is running, you must restart the VM to apply the change.
