Can I Transfer the Data Disk Capacity to a System Disk?
Sorry, you cannot.
Currently, the capacity of an EVS disk cannot be transferred to another disk. Multiple EVS disks cannot be combined into a single, larger disk, either.
Common Scenarios
- You want to expand the system disk capacity, but purchased a new data disk.
- You want to expand the system disk capacity, but expanded the data disk capacity.
Recommended Solution
- If you do not need the data on the data disk, you can just delete or unsubscribe from the data disk, and then expand the system disk.
- If you need the data on the data disk, you can purchase a small-capacity data disk, copy data from the original data disk to the new data disk, and then expand the system disk capacity.
- Back up the data disk using the CBR service or by creating a snapshot.
For details about backups, see Managing EVS Backups. For details about snapshots, see Creating a Snapshot (OBT).
- Buy a new data disk with the desired capacity and attach it to the server. After initializing the disk, copy the data from the original data disk to the new data disk.
- Confirm that the services on the new data disk are available. Then, delete or unsubscribe from the original data disk, and delete the created backup.

- Back up the data disk using the CBR service or by creating a snapshot.
