When you install NetMRI on your VM, by default about 80 Gb of storage is allocated to and distributed among a few virtual disk volumes. Each volume corresponds to a specific NetMRI component. You can extend the NetMRI storage per volume to optimize performance. For example, you may want to extend low-space volumes, use different performance storage for different volumes, protect NetMRI critical services by dedicating volumes specifically to them, and so on.

The disk partitions include:

- Application Storage
- Backup Storage
- Database Storage
- Log Storage
- OS Storage
- Temporary Storage
- Unused Storage

To find this list with size and free space per partition, go to the **Settings** icon > **Database** **Settings** > **Storage** **Management**.

To extend the NetMRI storage, run the `provisiondisk` command in the administrative shell. For information, see *<span style="color: #0000ff">[Shell](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NetMRI753/pages/42108280)</span>*[ ](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NetMRI753/pages/42108280)*<span style="color: #0000ff">[Commands](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NetMRI753/pages/42108280)</span>*.

> ⚠️ **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.
