IBM Security QRadar

Hello,

I have a QRadar setup with Master Console, AppHost, couple of EPs running the 7.5 version of the code. On the Event Processor, the disk is running out of space for the /store partition.  This is deployed on a VMware environment.

Could someone please let me know the procedure to increase the disk partition by attaching another disk?

Regards,

I suppose the standard LVM extension method still not officially supported by IBM, however this is the standard method for QROC (Qradar On Cloud) and it is working perfectly. So, just google 'Extend LVM' and you'll find the solution at many sites. I have a document somewhere with all the steps required to extend /store by adding new disks, if I'll find it and noone else posting something similar I'll add it here, but again, this is just a Linux, so use standard tools

Hi

The use of LVM to resize a disk in QRadara is not supported.  This can lead to data loss.

The methods listed in the above link should be used if additonal space is required

Thanks

QRoC add datanodes when space is required.

Not directly the answer to this question, but the easiest way is adding the Data node. 

As the LVM method is not officially supported, what I did few times (to steer away from other trouble) is: provision a new (properly sized) virtual disk, add it to the QRadar instance and (after discovering the new disk) proceeded with migrating the /store to the new "disk"; for the last part you can follow the steps from the Offboard storage guide.

Then you would create a new Virtual Machine with the disk size required

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/qsip/7.5?topic=installations-installing-rhel-your-system

Then you would follow the HW migration procedure

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/qsip/7.5?topic=hardware-qradar-siem-migration-scenarios

To clarify LVM is used in QRadar but the resizing of disks once in production is not supported in QRadar and may cause data loss and would result in an unsupported device

Thank you @John Dawson for your response. What do you mean by an unsupported device?
