Usage

Expanding the Root Partition of an Instance

To expand the root partition of the instance:

1. Use the lsblk command to confirm the OS has identified the new size of the boot volume.

   For example:

   lsblk
   NAME               MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
   sda                  8:0    0  100G  0 disk
   ├─sda1               8:1    0  100M  0 part /boot/efi
   ├─sda2               8:2    0    1G  0 part /boot
   └─sda3               8:3    0 98.9G  0 part
     ├─ocivolume-root 252:0    0 88.9G  0 lvm  /
     └─ocivolume-oled 252:1    0   10G  0 lvm  /var/oled
   sdb                  8:16   0   70G  0 disk
   

   If the disk volume isn't the expected size, run the commands to rescan the boot volume. See Rescanning the Disk for Volumes Attached to Linux-Based Instances.

2. Run the oci-growfs utility with the y option to answer "yes" to all prompts.

   Copy

   sudo /usr/libexec/oci-growfs -y

   For example:

   $ sudo /usr/libexec/oci-growfs -y

Prerequisite

Install the OCI Utilities on the minimal instance. For more information, see Installing the OCI Utilities.

Conversion Types

The oci-image-expand utility provides two types of Oracle Linux Minimal instance conversions:

• Default: Restores default Oracle Linux platform systemd services, diagnostic packages, cloud configuration settings, and configures and enables swap on the instance. Restoring default platform functionality doesn't increase instance boot time. This conversion type is always applied by the oci-image-expand utility.

• Reboot Required: Restores default Oracle Linux platform functionality, as described in the Default conversion type, and restores one or more of the following user-selectable features:

  • Enable SELinux - Restores SELinux enforcing mode.
  • Enable Kdump - Adds kdump capability and regeneration of kdump initramfs.
  • Enable Ksplice - Installs Ksplice and enables the Ksplice service. For information about using Ksplice, see Oracle Ksplice for Zero-Downtime Updates and Oracle Linux Ksplice User's Guide.

  Choosing any of these selectable features increases instance boot time and requires a reboot to take effect.

The oci-image-expand utility log files are located at: /var/log/oci-image-expand.log

Usage

oci-image-expand [-h | --help]

Restoring Default Platform Image Functionality

To restore default Oracle Linux platform image functionality to the Oracle Linux Minimal instance:

Run the oci-image-expand utility and press Enter at the prompt, without making any selections.

For example:

$ /usr/libexec/oci-image-expand
Please select the set of reboot required functions, if any
Selecting a function transitions from not selected [ ] to selected [+] or vice versa
 
[ ] 0) All reboot options

[ ] 1) Enable SELinux

[ ] 2) Enable Kdump

[ ] 3) Enable Ksplice
  
Select the desired options using their number (again to uncheck, ENTER when done):
ENTER
