Expanding the Disk Capacity

Scenario

If the capacity of the system disk or data disk used for purchasing a desktop is insufficient, you need to expand its capacity.

This section describes how to expand the capacity of a system disk or data disk for a desktop.

Prerequisite

You can expand the capacity of a system disk or data disk only when the desktop is running or stopped.

Procedure

Log in to the Workspace console.
In the navigation tree on the left, choose Desktop Management > Desktops.

The desktop management page is displayed.
Select the desktop to which a data disk is to be added, and choose More > Disk > Expanding Disk in the Operation column.

The page for expanding disk capacity is displayed.
Select System Disk or Data Disk.
(Optional) If there are multiple data disks, select the data disk to be expanded.
Configure the Add Capacity (GB).
- The maximum capacity of a system disk is 1020 GB. The capacity of a desktop can only be a multiple of 10. That is, the capacity of a system disk can be expanded only to 1020 GB.
- The maximum capacity of a data disk is 8200 GB.
  The available capacity for expansion depends on on the initial data disk size.
  - If the initial data disk size is less than 1020 GB and the capacity of a desktop can only be a multiple of 10, the maximum data disk capacity is 1020 GB. The excess capacity cannot be used.
    If a data disk needs to be expanded to over 1020 GB, you must change the disk partition style from MBR to GPT (for details, see Introduction to Data Disk Initialization Scenarios and Partition Styles). During the change, services will be interrupted and the original data will be cleared. Therefore, back up the data before changing the partition style.
  - If the initial data disk size is greater than 1020 GB and the capacity of a desktop can be expanded only by a multiple of 10, the maximum data disk capacity is 8200 GB.
