You cannot, however, decrease the capacity of the log storage hard disk. If you must reduce the amount of storage available for log messages, you must delete your instance of Dimension and deploy a new instance of Dimension with the correct log storage hard disk capacity.
When the database is local to the Dimension system, the maximum size of the database is limited to 80% of the size of the data disk for the virtual machine. For more information about how to size your Dimension log database, see Install WatchGuard Dimension.
If you currently have a snapshot of your Dimension VM, you cannot increase the size of the log storage hard disk. You must first either commit or revert the snapshot, then delete the snapshot, and then increase the log storage capacity for Dimension. After you have completed the increase process, you can start the Dimension VM and create a new snapshot of your VM as necessary.
To see the database status, go to the Database > Status page. For more information, see Manage the Dimension Database.
The Database > Status page shows disk usage information for the Dimension built-in database only.
