Disk Manager

Purpose

Manage VM disks: attach, hot-plug, resize entry points, and disk inventory beyond the raw PVC list.

When to use it

  • Add a data disk to a running VM
  • Grow capacity (with PVC Resize / guest grow-fs as needed)
  • Audit disks attached to a workload

How to get there

  • Route: /disk-manager
  • Also: VM workbench hardware / disk panels

Operate from the console (UX)

  1. Open /disk-manager from the sidebar, workspace switcher, or command palette (⌘K / Ctrl+K).
  2. Read the PageHead / deck line — confirm it matches: Manage VM disks: attach, hot-plug, resize entry points, and disk inventory beyond the raw PVC list.
  3. Use namespace / label filters; open an object for inspector details.
  4. Mutations (drain, resize PVC, attach NAD) go through confirm sheets — wait for status refresh.
  5. If empty: broaden namespace filter, confirm RBAC, and that the cluster API is reachable.
  6. Empty / fail: No data → check auth, namespace filter, and that required operators (KubeVirt/CDI/monitoring) are installed; purpose was: Manage VM disks: attach, hot-plug, resize entry points, and disk inventory beyond the raw PVC list.
  7. Success: Live inventory or job progress matches the deck line; you can navigate to a related center without re-auth.

Use https://<host>:30050/ (NodePort) or your ingress URL — never publish lab IPs. HTTPS is required for in-browser VNC. Browse lists are safe; power actions live on workbenches.
