1.6 Appliance Issues

1.6.1 VMware Snapshots and Appliance Backup

Do not use VMware snapshots as a backup method for Filr. Doing so inhibits your ability to upgrade Filr in the future.

If you do use snapshots, you must remove them before upgrading to a new version of Filr.

For more detailed information about how to back up various Filr components, see Backing Up Filr Data in the Novell Filr 1.1 Administration Guide.

1.6.2 Cannot Expand Storage for /var Partition on Xen

When running Filr in Xen environment, storage for the /var partition cannot be expanded after Filr installation.

The process for expanding storage for the /var and /vastorage partitions after installation is described in Managing Storage in the Novell Filr 1.1 Administration Guide.
