Resolving The Problem
When installing the Guardium appliance using VMWare, selecting "Typical" install will cause VMWare to use configuration parameters predefined for the OS type in VMWare.
Please select "Custom" installation and specify the disk location and size explicitly. Please specify a disk size that is big enough for your monitoring and audit needs, as once it is configured, IBM InfoSphere Guardium does not support adding disk space to the appliance.
