=================================================================
Increase the Size for LVM Local Volumes on Controller Filesystems
=================================================================

Controller filesystems are allocated as LVM local volumes inside the
**cgts-vg** volume group. You can increase controller filesystem storage
inside the **cgts-vg** volume group by using the |CLI|, or the Horizon Web
interface.

.. rubric:: |context|

To provision filesystem storage, enough free disk space has to be available
in this volume group. You can increase available space for provisioning by
creating a partition and assigning it to **cgts-vg** volume group. This
partition can be created on the root disk or on a different disk of your
choice. In |prod-long|, Simplex or Duplex systems that use a dedicated disk
for **nova-local**, some root disk space reserved for **nova-local** is
unused. You can recover this space for use by the **cgts-vg** volume group
to allow for controller filesystem expansion.

For convenience, this operation is permitted on an unlocked controller.

.. note::
    Using more than one disk during setup for **cgts-vg**, may increase
    disk failures. In case any of the disks in the **cgts-vg** volume group
    fails, the disk has to be replaced and the node has to be reinstalled.
    It is strongly recommended to limit **cgts-vg** to the root disk.

.. note::
    The partition should be the same size on both controllers, otherwise
    only the smallest common denominator size can be provisioned from
    **cgts-vg**.

.. caution::
    Once the **cgts-vg** partition is added, it cannot be removed.

The following example is used for provisioning **cgts-vg** on a root disk.
The default **rootfs** device is **/dev/sda**.

.. rubric:: |proc|

#.  Check the free space on the **rootfs**, by using the following command:

    .. code-block:: none

        ~(keystone_admin)$ system host-disk-list 1

#.  Create a new partition on **rootfs**, for example:

    .. code-block:: none

        ~(keystone_admin)$ system host-disk-partition-add -t lvm_phys_vol controller-0 /dev/sda 22

After increasing the **cgts-vg** volume size, you can provision the filesystem
storage. For more information about increasing filesystem allotments using the
