## Symptoms

- "`Logical Volume duplicate fail`" error is received when trying to increase the `lv_current` partition with `lvm_manager`.

## Cause

A partition misalignment error because of a disk upgrade on Azure.

## Solution

This problem was fixed. The fix is included in:

* [Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator for R81.10](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/Jumbo_HFA/R81.10/Default.htm) starting from Take 95
* [Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator for R81](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/Jumbo_HFA/R81/Default.htm) starting from Take 82
* [Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator for R80.40](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/Jumbo_HFA/R80.40/Default.htm) starting from Take 198

If you choose not to upgrade, use this workaround.
To extend *lv_current* and *lv_log* partitions:  

1) During Azure VM creation for CheckPoint Machine, keep "Additional disk space (GB)" with the default value "0".

2) After VM creation is finished and all processes are UP, add a new disk with required size and then save.

3) Wait until new disk attaching is finished on Azure.  

4) Reboot the machine and the new space will be added to "unallocated space" in *lvm_manager*
