Extend GPT iSCSI volume in Rocky 8

Posted on by Jordansphere

In this example I will be extending an XFS based iSCSI volume called Veeam_Repo_01 from 40TB to 55TB

Firstly in the back end storage increase the volume

On Rocky – Recan the initiator.

iscsiadm -m session --rescan

lsblk

Output:

You’ll notice the paths are all showing as 55TB

Note: You can either reboot at this point or run partprobe -s

parted /dev/mapper/Veeam_Repo_01
