FortiClient EMS 7.4.1 OVA Template on ESXi - not enough disk space

[helpIT-Hartmann]

Hi Everyone!

I am testing EMS for FortiClient VPN depolymant and have depoloyed the ova image of EMS 7.4.1 on my esxi and switched to multi site management. I tried to create a deployment package to deploy FortiClient via invention. 

At the final step (4) of the Installer package creation process i get the following error: failed to create deployment package: not enough disk space.

It does not depend if i use multi site configuration or not. i tried both. Same error.
The Interface tells me, that there is 30% free space availible. 
Has anyone encountered the same error and has a fix?

Regards,
Thomas

Based on the requirements it will need at least 80GB of free disk space, is this available on this setup?

[helpIT-Hartmann]

No, it is not. The OVA Image is configured with 40 GB Harddrive.
If there is the need for 80 GB free harddrive, i dont understand, why fortinet is publishing an image with just an 40 GB image, where is just 19 GB on the main partition.

Successfull expanded the disks, partitions and volumes! Works now!

Take a snapshot!

Extend the vmdk to 100 GB

In the shell:

View actual config:

sudo lsblk -f

Change sizes: 

sudo parted /dev/sda
print
resizepart 3 100%
print
sudo lvresize -l +100%FREE /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv
sudo  lvextend --resizefs -l +100%FREE /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv

View new config:

sudo lsblk -f

Thank you for your feedback, I'm glad it works.

You cannot extend the vmdk, while a snapshot is active. You have to expand the physical volume, before you can resize the logical volume. So the order is:
