Use the `provisiondisk` command to extend the NetMRI VM storage per volume.

The NetMRI volumes and their sizes are displayed on the **Settings** icon > **Database Settings** > **Storage Management** page. For more information, see [*Storage Management*](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NetMRI753/pages/42108317).

> ⚠️ **Caution**
> ⚠️ 
> ⚠️ You cannot undo the storage extension.

> ❌ **Warning**
> ❌ 
> ❌ Do not detach hard disks that you already attached and added to the NetMRI storage. This may result in a broken NetMRI appliance.
