What do you mean with "tried with /dev/sdb"? I assume this is a fresh setup and Cinder didn't work yet, am I right?<br>
The new disks won't be added automatically to your cinder configuration, if that's what you expected. You'll have to create new physical volumes and then extend the existing VG to use new disks.<span class=""><br>

<br></span>
If you plan to use cinder volumes as disks for your instances, you don't need much space in /var/lib/nova/instances but more space available for cinder, so you'll need to grow the VG.<br>

- Do you already have existing physical volumes for cinder (assuming you<br>
deployed cinder with lvm as in the provided link)?<br>
Yes, I have tried one of the HD (/dev/sdb)<br>
<br>
- If the system recognizes the new disks and you deployed cinder with lvm<br>
you can create a new physical volume and extend your existing volume group<br>
to have more space for cinder. Is this a failing step or someting else?<br>
System does not recognize the disks automatically, I have manually mounted<br>
them or added them to cinder.<br>
<br>
In Nova-Compute logs I can only see main hard disk shown in the the<br>
complete phys_disk, it was supposed to show more phys_disk available<br>

As explained in the previous point, I want to increase the phys_disk size<br>

I am installing cinder on the compute node to add all the HDs.<br>
<br>
I might be doing something wrong.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
there are a couple of questions rising up:<br>
<br>
- what do you mean by "disks are not added"? Does the server recognize<br>
them? Do you see them in the output of "lsblk"?<br>

The failing neutron-l3-agent shouldn't have to do anything with your disk<br>
layout, so it's probably something else.<br>

I am installing Openstack Queens on Ubuntu Server.<br>

My server has extra hard disk(s) apart from main hard disk where<br>

As suggested in cinder (above link), I have been trying to add the new<br>
hard<br>
disk but the other hard disks are not getting added.<br>
<br>
Can anyone tell me , what am i missing to add these hard disks?<br>
<br>
Other info : neutron-l3-agent on controller is not running, is it related<br>
to this issue ? I am thinking it is not related to this issue.<br>

I am new to Openstack.<br>
