9. Run the following command to identify the name of the device you attached: fdisk –l
10. Locate the device name according to its size and usage information.

    where deviceName is the device name identified when you ran fdisk -l.
    
12. Run the following command to extend the archive pool: portal-storage-util.sh extend_db_archive_pool deviceName
    where deviceName is the device name identified when you ran fdisk -l.
