cPanel 
======

Your virtual server will be provisioned with 2 virtual disks, one with 10 GB capacity (vda) and one with the disk size you’ve ordered (vdb). 

By default, cPanel uses the /home folder to store the data, which is on the root filesystem on the first virtual drive vda with a capacity of 10GB,
so you may need to change the mount point of this directory to the ordered disk space on vdb to use the ordered full storage space. 

There are two possible options:

**1.** You can reinstall your server manually and use vdb as the root partition. You can find our guides here:
http://kb.ultravps.eu/kvm-cloud-server/installation/index.html

**2.** In case that cPanel is already installed, you can stop the cPanel services and move your data to your virtual drive vdb and then mount it to the path where cpanel stores its
data. You can use the following guide on CentOS 7:

**Backup your data!
First of all, please backup your data!**

**Stop the services:**

.. code-block:: console

    systemctl stop tailwatchd
    systemctl stop cpanel
    systemctl stop httpd
    systemctl stop mysql
    systemctl stop exim
    systemctl stop dovecot

**Move all data from /home to /data:**

.. code-block:: console
    
    mv /home/* /data
    mv /home/.cp* /data

**Unmount /data (vdb1):**

.. code-block:: console
    
    umount /data

**Edit /etc/fstab to change the mount point:**

.. code-block:: console
    
    Old:
    /dev/vdb1 /data ext4 defaults 0 0
    New:
    /dev/vdb1 /home ext4 defaults 0 0

**Save the file and mount all partitions:**

.. code-block:: console    
    
    mount -a

**Verify that vdb is now mounted as /home:**

.. code-block:: console
    
    df -h
    Example output:
    Dateisystem    Größe Benutzt Verf. Verw% Eingehängt auf
    devtmpfs        486M       0  486M    0% /dev
    tmpfs           496M       0  496M    0% /dev/shm
    tmpfs           496M     50M  446M   11% /run
    tmpfs           496M       0  496M    0% /sys/fs/cgroup
    /dev/vda3       8,6G    5,6G  3,0G   66% /
    /dev/vdb1        30G     13G   17G   43% /home

**Start cPanel services again:**

.. code-block:: console
   
    systemctl start tailwatchd
    systemctl start cpanel
    systemctl start httpd
    systemctl start mysql
    systemctl start exim
    systemctl start dovecot 

**Done! Please verify that everything is ok from your end.**
