How to Add a Hard Disk to the Virtual Image

• Make sure the virtual image is shut down
• Add a hard disk using the Virtual Box Settings tool
• Select Storage
• Next to the IDE Controller entry in the tree, click the Add Hard Disk icon
• Click Create New Disk
• Select VMDK (Virtual Machine Disk) and click Next
• Select Dynamically allocated and click Next
• Enter a location for the physical file, a size of 30GB or more, and click Next
• Click Create to create the actual disk
• Start the virtual image
• Open a terminal window
• su to login as the root user using root/oracle
• Start fdisk to partition the new disk: /sbin/fdisk /dev/hdc
• Enter command n to create a new partition
• Enter p to specify a primary partition
• Enter 1 to specify partition 1
• Leave defaults for starting and ending cylinders for sizing the partition
• Enter command w to write the partition table and exit fdisk
• Format the partition using the following command: /sbin/mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdc1
• Mount the disk to the /u01 file system using the following commands:
• mkdir /u01
• mount /dev/hdc1 /u01
• chown -R oracle:oracle /u01
• Check the file system to see if your new disk is recognized: df -h
• Edit your /etc/fstab file to include your new mounted drive to have Linux automatically mount your drive when you restart the image
• Exit the root user
• Now you should have 30GB or more of disk space available at the /u01 file system. You can create a stage folder for product downloads, and can install products to /u01 as indicated in the instructions
