After provisioning an application form the GSC template, I am unable to access it's volume from the grid controller.

Are there anything special about this template volume?


testgrid> app provision GSC testgsc --skipstart
Provisioning application testgsc...
Copying volume GSC.boot ..

testgrid> ca testgsc

testgrid testgsc> vol list
Application 'testgsc' does not have any volumes.

Jean-Francois,

The GSC doesn't have app-level volumes as it stores all data on the GSC appliance's main volume (GSC is a singleton).

You can see all volumes of an application -- including the singleton volumes and the cached class volumes -- by running the following command:
vol list appname --all

You can see the volume's name (usually something like main.GSC.boot) and, when needed, resize it using the same name. Eg.:
vol resize appname:main.GSC.boot size=200G

The vol list options are documented in the user documentation at: http://doc.3tera.net/AppLogic2/CliVolume.html#AnchorList (Specifically, the note that says: If an application name is specified and the --all option is specified, ALL volumes for the application are listed.) I realize that this may be a bit confusing for new users; we are planning to include the singleton volumes in the normal list (without --all).
